About this product
Product Information
Art collectors and art-world pilgrims flock to Marfa, Texas-best known as the home to Donald Judd's Cinati Foundation-to immerse themselves in its ever-growing arts and gallery scene. Its cachet has grown so much in recent years, in fact, that it has become a hot destination for vacationers as well as second-home owners. This volume reveals 24 of its most inspiring, unique, and high-design residential spaces. Twenty-one houses in and around Marfa, Texas, provide a glimpse at creative life and design in one of the art world's 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 Judd's 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 setting-the sky, its light and sense of isolation-some that even predate Judd's 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 chef's 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. Another artist uses the many rooms of her house, a former jail, to shift between different mediums-with Judd's Fort D. A. Russell works always visible from her second-story sun porch. Extraordinary building costs mean that Marfa dwellers embrace a culture of frontier ingenuity and freedom from excess-salvaged metal signs become sliding doors and lengths of pipe become lighting fixtures, industrial warehouses are redesigned after the area's 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.

Ultimate find, I was looking for one of these for a long time, and when I found this one I had no hesitation in purchasing it, the seller was extremely helpful and communicated very well. The price with the postage was very reasonable and when I got it home the item looked better in person than it did in the picture

Rare book - particularly in new condition - listed at a reasonable price, which included postage. Packaged fairly securely - and arrived in perfect condition. Happy to have found a copy - and with the order overall.
