Georgia O'Keeffe lived in Abiquiu, New Mexico, from 1949.
She had visited New Mexico regularly since the late 1920s and found its landscapes central to her artistic life. In 1945, she bought a house in Abiquiu that included a famous courtyard wall and door. The house was restored over many years and became one of the most recognizable places associated with her work.
After Alfred Stieglitz died in 1946, O'Keeffe spent increasing amounts of time in New Mexico. She moved permanently to Abiquiu in 1949, while also retaining her Ghost Ranch property. The village and surrounding terrain supplied recurring subjects, including adobe architecture, mountains, roads, and open desert spaces.
Abiquiu is often mixed up with Santa Fe, where the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is located, or with Ghost Ranch, the nearby property where she also lived and painted. These places are connected but distinct. Abiquiu was the village of her permanent home, and its house is now preserved as part of the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio.
