Which museum bought Georgia O'Keeffe’s Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1?

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

Crystal Bridges acquired the painting after its 2014 Sotheby’s sale, where it realized $44.4 million. The museum is located in Bentonville, Arkansas, and focuses on American art from the colonial period to the present.

The purchase added one of O'Keeffe’s best-known flower paintings to a collection that includes major works by artists such as John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell, and Andy Warhol. The acquisition also helped place O'Keeffe within a broader national story of American art rather than treating her solely as a regional New Mexico artist.

The painting was made in 1932 and features an enlarged white jimson weed blossom. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe is a separate institution and does not own this particular work.
