What was Georgia O'Keeffe's first major New Mexico home, acquired in 1945?

Georgia O'Keeffe's first major New Mexico home, acquired in 1945, was the Abiquiú house.

O'Keeffe bought a neglected adobe house in the village of Abiquiú in 1945 and spent several years restoring it. The property eventually became her principal home and studio after she moved permanently to New Mexico in 1949.

The house is famous for its courtyard wall and a black door that O'Keeffe repeatedly painted. She described the door as a subject that had meaning for her and returned to it in multiple works. The building's architectural details became as important to her as the surrounding landscape.

The Abiquiú property is distinct from Ghost Ranch, another New Mexico location associated with O'Keeffe. She maintained a home at Ghost Ranch, but the Abiquiú house became the carefully restored residence most closely linked to her daily studio life and working methods.
