The city

What to expect from Marfa.

Small town in the high desert of West Texas, known for contemporary art since the artist Donald Judd settled there in the 1970s. The Chinati Foundation occupies a former military fort with large installations; the Judd Foundation shows the spaces where he lived and worked. At night, an observation area east of town welcomes those who want to see the mysterious Marfa Lights.
