Description
Georgia O'Keeffe and Her Houses: Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu explores the two iconic homes of Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico—at Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch—which are essential elements in her paintings. However, their history has never before been detailed in such depth.
By quoting liberally from the artist's letters, authors 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, enriching our understanding of these remarkable structures.
The book's bountiful illustrations include photographs made especially for this book, showing the houses as they are today, alongside photographs of O'Keeffe at home by major photographers and her paintings of the houses and surrounding landscapes.
Praise for Georgia O'Keeffe and Her Houses:
Beautifully designed and fascinating. - Publishers Weekly
