The aughts have have seen a booming number of art tourists making pilgrimages to lonesome West Texas, and specifically Marfa. For that, you have Donald Judd’s Chinati Foundation to thank. The minimalist sculptor passed away in 1994, but his legacy lives on in this network of 15 buildings spread over a 340-acre campus in the arid Chihuahuan desert.

The collection includes masterworks by Judd and his pals Dan Flavin, Carl Andre, John Chamberlain, Roni Horn, Ilya Kabakov, Richard Long, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen, and John Wesley. It’s a delightful spectacle for appreciators of simple conceptual art, but could be a drag if you’re into flashier contemporary works.

Notably, fall 2016 marked the first major opening at the compound in more than a decade. The Robert Irwin project, untitled (dawn to dusk), 2016, took 16 years to complete. The large-scale meditation on light and shadow is permanently on view in a former army hospital.

Some projects at Chinati Foundation are available for self-guided touring, with limited hours; check here for details. To get a fuller experience, you’ll have to sign up for a docent-led tour. These are offered Wednesday through Sunday and fill up quickly, so book in advance. The full collection tour lasts up to five hours and costs $25 for adults. Compare this with the $20 selections tour for 2.5 hours and it’s no contest. Go with the longer tour and remember to wear sunblock, sunglasses, a hat, and closed-toe shoes—there’s rattlesnakes in these here parts.
