- 3 / 9Donald Judd“Marfa has an amazing artist community, which was pioneered by the founder of the Chinati Foundation, Donald Judd. The four-hour guided tour took us to some of his most important, site-specific work, and you’ll also stumble across some major artwork by artist like John Chamberlain and Dan Flavin.”

And when you get tired of looking at the stars, do as I did and dance with your friends to Fleetwood Mac inside your trailer.”
