Quick Summary

The Chinati Foundation is a contemporary art museum located in Marfa, Texas. Founded by minimalist artist Donald Judd, it is dedicated to exhibiting art that is intended to remain in its specific location. The museum is situated on 340 acres of land that was formerly a military base.

Opened in 1986, the foundation showcases large-scale, permanent installations by a select group of artists, including Judd himself, John Chamberlain, and Dan Flavin. These works are often displayed in repurposed military structures or outdoors, designed to interact with their environment. The Chinati Foundation also hosts temporary exhibitions and offers art programs for children and artist residencies.
