In the last of three virtual art lectures we will learn about a small town in West Texas with a population of less than 1,500 people, Marfa, Texas. Artist Donald Judd left New York City for Marfa in the 1970s and since then the isolated art hub has kept growing. Accessing Marfa typically involves flying to El Paso and driving for 3 hours into the desert. This lecture will save you the trip!
Our itinerary will include the outrageous Prada store along Highway 90 which is a land art installation by artists Elmgreen and Dragset. We will also visit Hotel Paisano’ Greasewood Gallery, Ayn Foundation, Judd Foundation, Ballroom Marfa. Midway we will take a break and have a burrito and Lone Star. After this short stop, we continue with gallery visits, Building 98 and the Chianti Foundation. Depending on how we are doing with the time we might even stop at some boutiques for retail therapy. If we really get lucky we might even catch a glimpse of the mysterious orbs known as the “Marfa Lights.”
