  "account": "In a New York apartment closet, a Georgia O'Keeffe painting hidden for decades was discovered by a 90-year-old woman who casually informed her niece of its presence. The painting, depicting a New Mexico landscape, is believed to be the first in a series of three, with the other two located in prominent art collections. Estimated to be worth between $3 to $5 million, the artwork is set to be auctioned on Tuesday by Christie's. O'Keeffe's signature, marked with \"OK\" in a star shape on the back, confirmed its authenticity. The painting, created in 1930, represents a significant era of the artist's work and her early connection to the American Southwest.",
