The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum announced this week 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 was “not taken lightly” but will allow the Santa Fe museum to build its endowment fund and compete in the global market for other works by O’Keeffe to fill gaps in its own collection.
