Answer 1

You found contradicting information? I believe it is pretty clear but...Well I never met her personally so...

From wiki (and I believe this to be true:)
Beginning in 1923, Stieglitz organized exhibitions of O'Keeffe's work annually, and by the mid-1920s, she had become known as one of America's most important artists. Her work commanded high prices; in 1928 six of her calla lily paintings sold for $25,000 US dollars, which was at the time the largest sum ever paid for a group of paintings by a living American artist. This drew media attention to Georgia like never before.

Answer 2

During the 1920s, O'Keeffe made both natural and architectural forms the subject of her work. She painted her first large-scale flower painting in 1924, Petunia, No. 2,, which was first exhibited in 1925, and completed a significant body of paintings of New York buildings, such as City Night, and New York--Night, 1926, and Radiator Bldg--Night, New York, 1927.

Answer 3

She and Steiglitz did pretty well for themselves financially. And by "pretty well", I mean "way better than most living artists usually do."

There is a Georgia O'Keefe museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Here is her biography page from the museum website.
