Tour of the Georgia O'Keefe house in Abiquiu, New Mexico
The Georgia O'Keefe Welcome Center is located just off I-84, next to the Abiquiu Inn. We tried to get tickets in advance, but couldn't. We stopped by and were able to hop on a tour. A small shuttle bus takes you on the five-minute ride to Georgia O'Keefe's home. (She divided her time between this house and a house in Ghost Ranch). Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and everyone on the tour was an admirer of O'Keefe's work. They asked great questions and had their own perspectives to share. The home is modest, but has amazing views of the valley. The decor highlights her minimalist aesthetic. The scenery is a clear inspiration to her art. It was a treat to see the landscape and architecture that were so important to her art. The Welcome Center itself had an exhibit that focused on her design style.
