Which institution holds Georgia O'Keeffe's painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1?

The story behind the answer

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art holds Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1.

The painting was made in 1932 and became one of O'Keeffe's signature flower enlargements. It shows a white jimson weed blossom against a pale background, with the flower's enlarged scale making its structure fill the viewer's field of vision.

Alice Walton purchased the work in 2014, and it entered the collection of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. The museum, founded by Walton, focuses on American art from the colonial period to the present.

The painting is often discussed because of its auction price, but its ownership is a separate fact. The 2014 sale price was $44.4 million including fees, while Crystal Bridges is the institution associated with the work's current public display and collection.
