I will wear this shirt every single day until I make my way to Marfa, TX and stay at El Cosmico.
Donald Judd in Texas I probably wouldn't have noticed this building had it not been for the artist Donald Judd.
In 1973 Donald Judd moved from Spring Street in New York City to Marfa, Texas, a dusty southwestern town of about 5000 people. Here he bought, lived, and worked in ordinary brick and adobe buildings left over from Marfa's military and railroad heyday.
Judd believed that art should not be encrusted with accumulated theory and conventions. It needed scraping away to the essence. The art Judd made was elemental and specific to its place.
He brought the same attitude to the buildings he occupied in Marfa, stripping away the exit signs, lay-in ceilings, and ductwork that encrusted them like a fishing net ensnaring a sea turtle.
As a result, ordinary, neglected buildings became quietly beautiful, like this workshop in Marfa seen at dusk on a winter evening.
Judd returned buildings to their primal state -- a ranch, a bank, an abandoned quartermasters post. The result was often sublime.
What the philosopher Merleau-Ponty said of another artist, Paul Cezanne, we can say of Donald Judd: "He took the world, made it new, and gave it back again almost unchanged, except that it had been observed."
