Dayton referencing her failing eyesight. Single sheet 8 1/2†x 11â€. The letter reads in full: “Abiquiu New Mexico March 29 1972 - Dear Mr. Dayton: When I was in your office someone asked me if anyone in my family had any eye trouble like mine and I said no. Later I remembered I had a grandfather in Budapest who went blind. That’s all I know about it - it might be an item of vague interest. My left eye has become much more cloudy and it’s as if my right eye is beginning to be cloudy. I assume that I should know there is nothing that could be done about if - am I correct I have gone to the doctor here again just last week and he tells me that my eye is no worse so I assume that nothing has happened to it. I would go to see you again but from what I understand there would be no real reason for me to go. Sincerely Georgia O’Keeffeâ€.

She continued to paint into the 1970s when her almost complete loss of eyesight due to macular degeneration which began in 1968 significantly curtailed her ability to work. On March 6 1986 O'Keeffe died in St. Vincent's Hospital in Santa Fe having almost reached her goal of living to 100; she was 98 years old. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened in Santa Fe in 1997.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiu was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1998 and is now owned by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. unknown books
