It was a stroke of luck. A Rhode Island woman discovered a long-lost Georgia O’Keeffe painting — valued at around $3 million — tucked away in her elderly aunt’s East Village apartment closet, The Post has learned. The groundbreaking abstract art had been hidden under a row of fur coats for nearly 40 years — and has never before been seen by the public, the niece and experts said.
