O'Keeffe's Houses

Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) was an important American modernist who painted the stunning architectural and landscape configurations of northern New Mexico for more than 40 years, beginning in 1929.  She bought a house in the area at Ghost Ranch in 1940, and another in Abiquiu in 1945, both of which are now owned by the Museum.

The Georgia O’Keeffe House and Studio in Ghost Ranch

O'Keeffe lived and worked at the Ghost Ranch house part of each year beginning in the mid-1930s, and then purchased the house in 1940. Approximately 60 miles northwest of Santa Fe, the Ghost Ranch house is surrounded by the stunning landscape that inspired her art for more than 40 years.

The Georgia O’Keeffe House and Studio in Abiquiu

In December 1945, O’Keeffe purchased a 5,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial–era compound in Abiquiu, then in ruins, from the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. With her friend Maria Chabot, O’Keeffe spent the next three years restoring the 18th-century structure. By 1949, the property was habitable and O’Keeffe moved from New York  and became a full-time resident of New Mexico, alternately living at her homes in Abiquiu and at Ghost Ranch.
