GEORGIA O'KEEFFE AND HER HOUSES

Georgia O’Keeffe’s two New Mexico houses —at Abiquiú and Ghost Ranch—are essential elements in her paintings, but their history has never before been detailed.

Quoting liberally from the artist’s letters, Barbara Buhler Lynes and Agapita Judy Lopez create a vibrant picture of O’Keeffe (1887–1986) and her homes, which have long intrigued the public. They explain how each home satisfied different aspects of O’Keeffe’s personal and professional needs and how she gradually transformed these Pueblo Revival–style houses to reflect her modernist aesthetic.
