What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's New York home and studio from 1929?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe's New York home and studio from 1929 was the Shelton Hotel.

The Shelton, now known as the New Yorker Hotel? No—the historic Shelton Hotel was a separate Manhattan building later known as the New Amsterdam Hotel. O'Keeffe lived there with Alfred Stieglitz after returning from an important 1929 trip to New Mexico, and the high-rise setting offered views unlike the desert subjects she increasingly painted.

Her New York work from this period includes cityscapes and views from elevated windows, while her summers in New Mexico supplied cliffs, bones, and open landscapes. The Shelton should not be confused with Stieglitz's gallery, An American Place, or with the Chelsea Hotel, another famous artists' residence.
