What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico home near Abiquiú?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico home near Abiquiú is called the Abiquiú Home and Studio.

O'Keeffe acquired the abandoned adobe house in Abiquiú in 1945 and spent years renovating it. She began living there regularly in 1949, after moving permanently from New York to New Mexico. The house provided a private setting for work and became closely connected with her paintings of the surrounding landscape, courtyard, door, and adobe architecture.

The home is distinct from O'Keeffe's property at Ghost Ranch, where she also lived and worked for many years. The Abiquiú house contains the famous black door that became a recurring subject in her art. Its arrangement of rooms, walls, and views helped shape the visual vocabulary of her later work.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum now preserves the property as a historic site. Abiquiú is a village in northern New Mexico, while Ghost Ranch is a separate landscape area farther north.
