Abiquiú was home to Georgia O'Keeffe's principal New Mexico residence and studio.
O'Keeffe bought the Abiquiú property in 1945 and spent years restoring it before moving in permanently in 1949. The adobe compound included a distinctive courtyard wall and a black door that became important subjects in her paintings.
The house provided a practical base for her work while keeping her close to the landscapes of northern New Mexico. She also maintained a residence at Ghost Ranch, but Abiquiú was the location of her principal home and studio.
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum preserves the property and offers tours of the restored buildings and grounds. The site is a National Historic Landmark and illustrates how O'Keeffe's architecture, daily life, and art were closely connected.
