Chinati Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chinati Foundation is a contemporary art museum located in Marfa, Texas conceived and founded by the late artist Donald Judd. The non-profit museum opened to the public in 1986. It was Judd’s goal at Chinati to bring art, architecture, and nature together in order to form a coherent whole.
The Chinati Foundation preserves and offers for public viewing large-scale, permanent installations by a limited number of artists. Originally conceived in order to present installations by Judd, Dan Flavin, and John Chamberlain, the museum’s permanent exhibitions include works by Carl Andre, Ingolfur Arnarsson, Roni Horn, Ilya Kabakov, Richard Long, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, David Rabinowitch, and John Wesley. Throughout the year, the museum hosts temporary exhibitions as well.
The Chinati Foundation can be viewed by guided tour, Wednesday through Sunday 10AM-12PM and 2-4PM, throughout the year.
