Inspired: Donald Judd + Marfa

ÖZET

One of the most significant artists of the twentieth century, Donald Judd enjoyed a successful career in New York in the 1970's when he decided to move to an empty and dilapidated town in a remote area of West Texas, a three hour drive from the nearest airport. Judd began to purchase properties there, where he would continue installing his work and the work of others on a permanent basis until his death in 1994. Marfa provided Judd with the opportunity to further explore his interest for architecture, with the creation of the Chinati Foundation and the restoration of numerous buildings. His art and architectural works turned Marfa and the region into one of the art world's most important destinations.
