Georgia O'Keeffe
American, 1887–1986

Georgia O’Keeffe’s lush, symbolic paintings of flowers and the American Southwest are some of the most instantly recognizable works of the 20th century. The late artist imbued all her landscapes and close-up depictions of nature with a sense of mythological power. Skulls and pastel petals fill her scenes, though her pared-down compositions could also veer towards abstraction. O’Keeffe was born in Wisconsin and studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Art Students League in New York, where she briefly lived with her photographer husband Alfred Stieglitz—and painted cityscapes—before permanently moving to New Mexico in 1949. This setting dominated her later canvases. O’Keeffe’s work has been exhibited across the world and belongs in the collections of institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among many others. In 2014, O’Keeffe’s 1932 painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 sold for $44.4 million and set a record for the most expensive artwork by a woman ever sold.
