The Judd Foundation offers a unique opportunity to explore the work and life of artist Donald Judd through guided visits at two key locations in Marfa: La Mansana de Chinati/The Block and The Studios. These visits allow art enthusiasts to experience Judd’s minimalist vision and architectural innovations in the spaces he carefully curated.
Guided Visit Highlights
