What city did Georgia O'Keeffe make her main home from 1918 to 1949?

Georgia O'Keeffe made New York City her main home from 1918 to 1949. During these decades, the city served as a major base for her work, marriage, exhibitions, and connection to American modernism.

She lived with Alfred Stieglitz in Manhattan, while also spending extended periods elsewhere, especially in New Mexico. Her New York years therefore did not mean she painted only urban subjects; her work ranged from flowers and skyscrapers to landscapes and abstract forms.

Stieglitz's gallery and photographic circle made New York especially important to her career. The city was a major meeting point for artists, photographers, critics, and collectors during the development of modern art in the United States.

O'Keeffe later moved more permanently toward New Mexico. That shift is why biographies sometimes emphasize the Southwest, but New York remained a crucial earlier chapter in her life and professional history.
