Which museum acquired Georgia O'Keeffe's painting Jimson Weed for $44.4 million in 2014?

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art acquired Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 for $44.4 million in 2014.

The 1932 painting became notable not only for its monumental white flower but also for its record-setting sale. Crystal Bridges, founded by Alice Walton in Bentonville, Arkansas, bought the work from the collection of the philanthropist David Rockefeller.

The reported price made it the most expensive painting by a female artist sold at auction or privately at that time, according to contemporary reports. Its acquisition strengthened Crystal Bridges' collection of major American art.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe holds many important works by the artist, but it did not make this purchase. The Whitney and Museum of Modern Art are also major O'Keeffe institutions, yet neither acquired this particular painting in 2014.
