What was the name of Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico home acquired in 1945?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico home acquired in 1945 was the Abiquiú house. The historic adobe property stands in the village of Abiquiú and became one of the artist’s most important residences and working spaces.

O’Keeffe had first visited New Mexico in 1929 and returned regularly for many years. She was drawn to the region’s cliffs, deserts, bones, architecture, and intense light. In 1945 she purchased the Abiquiú property, which included a walled courtyard and a distinctive door that later appeared in several paintings.

The Abiquiú house is distinct from Ghost Ranch, another New Mexico place closely associated with O’Keeffe. She lived and worked at both locations, but the Abiquiú property was her more permanent home and studio later in life.
