In 1945, Georgia O’Keeffe purchased a four-acre site with an adobe hacienda style house built around a central patio, on a mesa in the village of Abiquiu. Constructed from local materials, the uninhabited house was a ruin returning to the earth, when she first saw it. O’Keeffe welcomed the opportunity to rebuild it and make it her own, suited to her artistic practice. O’Keeffe lived and worked in the house for the rest of her life, finding continuing inspiration in the architecture of the home and the views of the surrounding landscape. This exhibition brings together paintings inspired by her Abiquiu home, some seen for the first time in many decades. It also includes a reconstruction of the view from her studio, centered on a worktable of her own design, arranged with her original art materials and tools.
