Which Georgia O'Keeffe painting is also known as White Flower No. 1?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's painting also known as White Flower No. 1 is Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1.

O'Keeffe completed the painting in 1932, during a period when flowers were among her most recognizable subjects. The canvas presents a dramatically enlarged white jimson weed bloom, emphasizing the curved petals and trumpet-like center.

The title identifies both the plant and the flower's sequence within the artist's related works. The painting's scale makes the flower appear monumental, a characteristic often associated with O'Keeffe's close-up flower compositions.

The work became especially famous after its 2014 auction, when it sold for more than $44 million. That later market record sometimes causes readers to remember the painting only as “White Flower,” but its full title includes “Jimson Weed” and “No. 1.”
