In what year did Georgia O’Keeffe die?

Georgia O’Keeffe died in 1986.

O’Keeffe died on March 6, 1986, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the age of 98. Her long life covered major changes in American art, including the development of modernism, the rise of abstract art, and the growing recognition of women artists in museums and scholarship.

She had moved permanently to New Mexico in 1949, three years after the death of her husband, photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz. In her later years, failing eyesight limited her ability to paint, but she continued working with assistants and explored other forms of visual expression. Her ashes were scattered over the landscape around Ghost Ranch, a place that had deeply influenced her paintings. O’Keeffe’s death year is sometimes confused with the year of her move to New Mexico, but those dates were separated by nearly four decades.
