The only record of Near Abiquiu, New Mexico I had been from a 1931 photograph taken by O’Keeffe’s husband, Alfred Stieglitz. Christie’s identified the painting via this photograph, and thanks to the presence of O’Keeffe’s distinct signature.
The painting is now on public view in New York until November 17, the day of its auction. According to The New York Post, some of the proceeds will be donated by Betsy and her family to an unnamed education institution, and the family will keep the rest “for things like paying off the mortgage.”
