Georgia O'Keeffe maintained her later home in Abiquiu, New Mexico.
O'Keeffe acquired a neglected adobe house in Abiquiu in 1945 and spent years having it restored. She moved there permanently in 1949, after Alfred Stieglitz's death, although she continued to travel and work elsewhere for periods of time.
The Abiquiu house and studio became a central part of her daily life and artistic identity. Its courtyard wall and black door appeared in several paintings, including works that transform architectural details into nearly abstract compositions. The property also offered views of the surrounding high desert.
Abiquiu is often confused with Ghost Ranch because both places were important to O'Keeffe and lie in the same region. Ghost Ranch supplied a broad landscape and retreat, while the Abiquiu house was her personal residence and working studio. The Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio is now preserved as a historic site.
