No town in the Big Bend region distinguishes itself quite like
Marfa. With a population of just over 2000, Marfa's eclectic
energy far outweighs its size.
In the 1950s, the small ranching community was home to
James Dean, Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson during filming of
Giant, Hollywood's epic movie about ranching and oil. The
town gained even more national attention in the 1970s with
the arrival of Donald Judd, a renowned contemporary
minimalist artist who was drawn to the sparse enormity of the
landscape. The Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art
museum based on the work and ideas of Judd, opened in
1986. Judd's established presence brought fellow art patrons
and minimalist pilgrims flocking to Marfa from every corner of
the earth. They pour into Marfa each October during Chinati
Weekend.
Over the years, the town has developed a unique ability to
bridge the space between incongruities. Here, the weathered
exteriors of a 1950s ranching town contain the whitewashed
interiors of fine contemporary art galleries. Here, a Texas-born-
and-raised cattle herder and a runaway art student dine at
adjacent tables in a restaurant that began in Manhattan.
Cowboy hats and skinny jeans inhabit the same spaces. And
somehow, out here, it makes sense.
Marfa offers a world-class collection of contemporary art
galleries, quirky and delicious food, and a landscape that can
change your life. For more information, go to VisitMarfa.com.
