Donald Judd was a prominent name in the art world when he decided to ditch New York for the starry West Texas desert. It was 1971, and Judd was determined to get as far away from the art world where he'd made a name for himself in the early 1960s as a wildly prolific art critic and later an artist working with proportion, light, space, and three-dimensional objects.

ABOUT MARFA MODERN Twenty-one houses in and around Marfa, Texas, provide a glimpse at creative life and design in one of the art worlds most intriguing destinations. When Donald Judd began his Marfa project in the early 1970s, it was regarded as an idiosyncratic quest. Today, Judd is revered for his minimalist art and the stringent standards he applied to everything around him, including interiors, architecture, and furniture. The former water stop has become a mecca for artists, art pilgrims, and design aficionados drawn to the creative enclave, the permanent installations called among the largest and most beautiful in the world, and the austerely beautiful high-desert landscape. In keeping with Judds site-specific intentions, those who call Marfa home have made a choice to live in concert with their untamed, open surroundings. Marfa Modern features houses that represent unique responses to this settingthe sky, its light and sense of isolationsome that even predate Judds arrival. Here, conceptual artist Michael Phelan lives in a former Texaco service station with battery acid stains on the concrete floor and a twenty-foot dining table lining one wall. A chefs modest house comes with the satisfaction of being handmade down to its side tables and bath, which expands into a private courtyard with an outdoor tub.

Extraordinary building costs mean that Marfa dwellers embrace a culture of frontier ingenuity and freedom from excesssalvaged metal signs become sliding doors and lengths of pipe become lighting fixtures, industrial warehouses are redesigned after the areas white-cube galleries to create space for private or personally created art collections, and other materials are suggested by the land itself: walls are made of adobe bricks or rammed earth to form sculptural courtyards, or, in one remarkable instance, a mix of mud and brick plastered with local soils, cactus mucilage, horse manure, and straw.
