Georgia O'Keeffe acquired a house in Abiquiu, New Mexico, in 1945.
The house was a dilapidated adobe compound that O'Keeffe had noticed years earlier while traveling through the area. She eventually obtained it and oversaw its restoration, creating a private home and studio with views of the surrounding high-desert landscape. The property became one of the places most closely associated with her later life and work.
Abiquiu is distinct from Ghost Ranch, where O'Keeffe also lived and painted. The Abiquiu home includes the famous courtyard wall and door that appear in several of her paintings. O'Keeffe spent increasing amounts of time in New Mexico after the 1930s, and the Abiquiu house helped support a more settled routine for painting, gardening, and receiving visitors. The property is now preserved by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and is visited through scheduled tours.
