Day 18 of Women’s Herstory month- a very famous artist:
Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most celebrated female artists in history. She was known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and
New Mexico landscapes. O’Keeffe has been recognized as the “Mother of American modernism”.She received unprecedented acceptance as a woman artist from the fine art world due to her powerful graphic images and within a decade of moving to New York City, she was the highest-paid American woman artist.
In 2014, O’Keeffe’s 1932 painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 sold for $44,405,000, more than three times the previous world auction record for any female artist. After her death, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum was established in Santa Fe.
