Georgia O'Keeffe Museum to Sell Three Works from Collection
- September 12, 2014 11:59
The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum has announced that it is selling three works by the artist, including one of her iconic flower paintings that is estimated to bring between $10 million and $15 million at auction.
Museum Director Robert Kret said the board’s decision to sell the pieces comes from a need to build its endowment fund and compete in the global market for other works by O’Keeffe.
Jimson Weed/White Flower 1 and two other paintings, an abstract of a skunk cabbage and a Northern New Mexico landscape, will be offered Nov. 20 in an auction of American art at Sotheby’s in New York City.
