Marfa, Texas: Movie History and Minimalist Art in the Desert
For being such a small town, Marfa has certainly made its mark on the silver screen. In addition to serving as the filming location for the 1956 movie Giant, starring James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rock Hudson, Marfa has appeared in There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men. The town, which has a population of less than 2,000 and sits close to the Mexican border, features historic architecture, a classic town square, and a kind of dusty, remote feeling to it that's perfect for westerns.
Another of Marfa's surprises: the abundance of minimalist art in town. You'll find numerous gallery spaces as well as large-scale installations adhering to artist Donald Judd's vision of an "anti-museum" in public spaces. For an idea of Marfa's signature aesthetic, take a late-morning or early-afternoon tour at the Chinati Foundation, stroll through the George Sugarman Sculpture Courtyard, or check out Building 98, an International Women's Foundation site featuring 75 works of modernist art made by women.
