About
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe is dedicated to the life, work, and legacy of the influential American modernist artist Georgia O'Keeffe. Opened in 1997, eleven years after the artist's death, it holds the largest collection of O'Keeffe's work in the world and serves as a center for scholarship, exhibitions, and education related to her art and to American modernism.
The museum's collection includes a substantial body of O'Keeffe's paintings, drawings, and other works, spanning her long and prolific career. Through rotating exhibitions, the museum presents her art alongside that of her contemporaries and explores the themes, places, and influences that shaped her distinctive vision, including the New Mexico landscapes that drew her to the region and became central to her work.
In addition to its Santa Fe galleries, the museum stewards O'Keeffe's historic properties in Abiquiú, including her home and studio, where she lived and worked for decades. These sites offer visitors insight into the artist's life and the northern New Mexico environment that inspired so much of her art, and the museum offers tours and programs connected to them.
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum also functions as a research and education institution, supporting scholarship on O'Keeffe and modernism and offering educational programs for students, teachers, and the public. Its research center preserves archives and materials related to the artist's life and work.
As one of the few major museums in the United States dedicated to a single woman artist, the museum holds particular significance. Supported by admissions, memberships, donations, and grants, it attracts visitors from around the world to Santa Fe while advancing understanding and appreciation of one of the most important figures in American art.
