Traveling from Buena Vista, Georgia to Abiquiú, New Mexico, as the fourth stop of this six-part virtual road trip, we’ll adventure into the desert home, studio, and garden of painter Georgia O’Keeffe. The rugged landscapes and collected objects that informed O’Keeffe’s vast body of work tell a story of place that continues to inspire. We’ll explore the present-day site, a breathtaking blend of architectural influences that was her personal haven for over three decades.
ABOUT THE HAHS VIRTUAL ROAD TRIP 2022
Fueled by the James Castle House and the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios (HAHS) program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this six-part, monthly series ventures deep into the museums and preserved spaces that nurtured the creation of thousands of American artworks. Join us as we travel across the USA (virtually) from Pennsylvania to Montana to discover the environments, architecture, and private landscapes of six different artists and the spaces that supported their art-making practices.
ABOUT THE GEORGIA O’KEEFFE HOME & STUDIO
The Georgia O’Keeffe Home & Studio in Abiquiu, New Mexico reflects a blend of Native American and Spanish Colonial building styles, regional architectural traditions dating back centuries. A quiet sanctuary from which to draw inspiration, O’Keeffe made Abiquiú her permanent home in 1949 until 1984. Today, the home provides a special look into the life of one of America’s greatest artists and is the primary resource for those wishing to study O’Keeffe’s art and her ties to Northern New Mexico.
