Georgia O'Keeffe maintained her New Mexico home in Abiquiú after 1949.
O'Keeffe moved permanently to New Mexico in 1949 and lived in Abiquiú for much of the rest of her life. Her Abiquiú house and studio, acquired and renovated over time, became an important working environment and is now preserved as a historic site.
The property includes the famous door in a high adobe wall that O'Keeffe painted repeatedly. Its design and surrounding landscape show how closely her domestic spaces were tied to her visual practice. She also spent time at Ghost Ranch, a rural area farther north that supplied many subjects.
Abiquiú is often confused with Santa Fe because Santa Fe became the location of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and is the nearest major cultural center. It is also distinct from Taos, another New Mexico art destination. The specific town associated with her home and studio is Abiquiú.
