Which New Mexico home and studio did Georgia O'Keeffe preserve as her principal residence?

Georgia O'Keeffe’s principal New Mexico residence was the Abiquiú Home and Studio.

The historic adobe house in Abiquiú became O'Keeffe’s home and studio after she acquired it in 1945. She renovated the property and used its walls, doors, courtyard, and surrounding landscape as recurring subjects in her paintings.

The house is distinct from Ghost Ranch, another New Mexico location strongly associated with O'Keeffe. Ghost Ranch supplied dramatic landscapes and became a place where she lived and worked, but the Abiquiú property was her carefully restored year-round home and studio. The two sites are about a short drive apart in northern New Mexico.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum operates the Abiquiú Home and Studio as a historic site. Tours emphasize how the building’s architecture and views shaped her compositions, including her repeated attention to a distinctive black door in the courtyard.
