Georgia O'Keeffe Museum

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is dedicated to perpetuating the artistic legacy of Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) and to the study and interpretation of American modernism (late nineteenth century-present). Located in Santa Fe, N.M., the museum's collections, exhibits, research center, publications and education programs contribute to scholarly discourse and serve diverse audiences. The largest single repository of the artist's work in the world, the museum's collection includes a wide range of O'Keeffe paintings, drawings and sculptures. It is the only museum in the world dedicated to an internationally known American woman artist, and is the most visited art museum in New Mexico.

The Museum is located at 217 Johnson Street (near the Plaza), Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87501.

Georgia O'Keeffe and Her Houses: Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu, by Barbara Buhler Lynes, Agapita Lopez. Harry N. Abrams, Sep 1, 2012 - 256 pages..Google Books says: "Georgia O'Keeffe's two houses in New Mexico -- at Abiquiu 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. An essay by architect Beverly Spears describes the distinctive characteristics of adobe construction. The bountiful illustrations include photographs made especially for this book showing the houses as they are today, photographs of O'Keeffe at home by major photographers, and her paintings of the houses and the landscapes surrounding them."
