The New Mexico property near Abiquiú where Georgia O'Keeffe lived and painted was Ghost Ranch.
Ghost Ranch is a dramatic landscape in northern New Mexico, known for colorful cliffs, mesas, and broad desert views. O'Keeffe began visiting the area in the 1930s and later maintained a home there.
The scenery became a major source for paintings of cliffs, sky, bones, and simplified natural forms. O'Keeffe also owned a house and studio in the village of Abiquiú, which she acquired in 1945 and restored over many years.
Ghost Ranch and Abiquiú are related but not identical locations. Ghost Ranch lies farther north, while the Abiquiú home became O'Keeffe’s principal New Mexico residence during part of her later life. Both places are important to understanding her artistic response to the region.
