Chinati Foundation
Art Museum · Marfa, Texas
A contemporary art museum on the 340-acre site of Fort D. A. Russell, a decommissioned cavalry post outside Marfa, founded by Donald Judd to house permanent large-scale installations in the buildings and landscape they were made for. Judd's hundred works in mill aluminum fill two artillery sheds he reglazed himself; Dan Flavin's fluorescent installation occupies six former barracks; the collection runs across twenty-one buildings and the desert between them.
1 Cavalry Row, Marfa, Texas, 79843, United States
