Georgia O'Keeffe acquired her home and studio in Abiquiú, New Mexico, in 1945.
The property was a largely ruined adobe compound when O'Keeffe obtained it. She worked with architect Juan Hamilton to restore and adapt the buildings, preserving features such as the thick adobe walls, courtyard, and distinctive black door. The restoration turned the site into both a practical residence and an environment closely connected to her art.
O'Keeffe had already spent years working in northern New Mexico, including at Ghost Ranch. The Abiquiú property offered a more settled base and eventually became her principal home. She lived there for many years before moving to Santa Fe late in life.
The home is often confused with Ghost Ranch because both locations are associated with O'Keeffe. Ghost Ranch was a separate property farther north, while the Abiquiú house and studio were located in the village and became famous for their architectural imagery.
