DescriptionGeorgia O'Keeffe sits on slip-covered ottoman in the living room of her home, Ghost Ranch, in Abiquiu, New Mexico. Two black chow dogs named Bo and Chia are lying on the floor nearby. O'Keeffe is looking at the dog nearest to her. There are several slip-covered armchairs in the room. A record player is on a shelf along the wall.Museum note: This image was published in Ralph Looney's book, "O'Keeffe and Me: A Treasured Friendship" in 1995. Ralph Looney mirrored the original negative (see PA2006.021.123) and it became this image, which he published it in the book, altering the viewer's perspective of the living room at O'Keeffe's home.
