What is the name of the New Mexico village where Georgia O'Keeffe kept a house?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe kept a house in Abiquiú, New Mexico. The historic village lies in northern New Mexico, near landscapes that became central to her later paintings.

O'Keeffe acquired the Abiquiú property in 1945 and spent years restoring it. The house, especially its courtyard wall and doorway, supplied subjects for paintings and photographs. The building also gave her a more private working environment than her earlier New York life.

Abiquiú is distinct from Ghost Ranch, although the two places are closely associated with O'Keeffe. Ghost Ranch lies farther north and was a major source of landscape imagery, while the Abiquiú house was one of her homes and studios.

The property is now managed by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Visitors can see features that appeared in her work, but the house should not be confused with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum itself, which is located in Santa Fe.
