About twenty miles before you reach iconic Prada Marfa, west of Marfa near Valentine, TX on Highway 90, lies a captivating art installation crafted by California artist, John Cerney. This installation pays homage to the movie “Giant”, and is strategically placed on the very ranch where parts of the film were shot. Visitors can marvel at the towering cutouts of Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean, alongside a vibrant depiction of Rock Hudson in a yellow convertible. As a finishing touch, melodies by Michael Nesmith gracefully flow from concealed speakers within faux rocks, enhancing the cinematic ambiance of the site.
