About The Chinati Foundation/La Fundación Chinati
In 1986, Donald Judd (1928–1994) established The Chinati Foundation/La Fundación Chinati with the aim of bringing art, architecture, and land together to form a coherent whole. Judd imagined Chinati, which is located on a 340-acre former military base in Marfa, Texas, as a site where artists could situate work according to their own intentions, permanently. Today, Chinati carefully maintains artists’ installations as they were conceived and presents them to a broad public. With rotating exhibitions, artist residencies, educational activities, and public programs, Chinati is a place where art—both the creation and viewing of it—is a part of daily life.
