Donald Judd: 15 untitled works in concrete Detail of 15 untitled works in concrete, by Donald Judd, 1980–84; on the grounds of the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.

Marfa, Texas, is a small town in the Trans-Pecos region that has become a notable center for contemporary art. This transformation is largely due to the establishment of the Chinati Foundation by minimalist artist Donald Judd. The foundation, located on land formerly used by a military base, exhibits large-scale, permanent installations by artists like Judd, John Chamberlain, and Dan Flavin. These artworks are designed to interact with their surroundings, with some displayed outdoors and others within repurposed military structures. Marfa's unique artistic focus has drawn artists and visitors, contributing to its identity as an arts community.
