Abiquiú was home to Georgia O'Keeffe's principal residence from 1949.
O'Keeffe moved permanently to New Mexico in 1949, after spending years traveling between the state and New York. She restored and lived in a historic adobe house in Abiquiú, where the architecture and surrounding landscape became important subjects in her work.
The house is now known as the Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio. Its doors, walls, courtyard, and nearby scenery appear in paintings and photographs, showing how closely her daily environment and artistic practice were connected.
Abiquiú is distinct from Ghost Ranch, another New Mexico place strongly associated with O'Keeffe. She maintained a second home at Ghost Ranch, while Abiquiú became her principal residence and later a preserved historic site.
