Which New Mexico site became Georgia O'Keeffe's home and studio in 1940?

Ghost Ranch became Georgia O'Keeffe's home and studio in 1940. The dramatic property near Abiquiú, New Mexico, provided the cliffs, ridges, and wide-open views that appear throughout her work.

O'Keeffe had visited New Mexico since 1917 and began spending summers there in 1929. She rented a house at Ghost Ranch before purchasing the property. Its landscape offered a sustained environment for painting, collecting natural forms, and developing a close relationship with the region.

Ghost Ranch is sometimes confused with O'Keeffe's Abiquiú house, which was a different residence. She eventually lived at both places, and each supplied important subjects. The distinctive red cliffs around Ghost Ranch are especially associated with paintings of the Pedernal and surrounding landscape.
