This is it. This is what all the fuss is about. Minimalist artist Donald Judd single-handedly put Marfa on the art-world map when he created the Chinati Foundation on the site of a former army post, using the abandoned buildings to create and display one of the world's largest permanent installations of minimalist art.
This is great news if you like minimalist art. But the tour draws equal numbers of people who look like they’re gazing upon works of genius and people who look like they’re going to say 'What the hell was that about?' as soon as they get in their car. (It’s also a bit of a commitment, taking up the better part of a day: the tour is broken into two parts and goes from 10am to noon and 2pm to 4pm).
Not sure if you’re in their demographic? It’s worth a gander at the website to be certain you’re a fan.
