The Chinati Foundation

The Chinati Foundation is an art museum based on the ideas of its founder, artist Donald Judd. It is located primarily at the site of former US Army Fort D.A. Russell, on the outskirts of Marfa, Texas. Chinati opened to the public in 1986 as an independent, non-profit, publicly funded institution.  Marfa, the seat of Presidio County, is located 200 miles southeast of El Paso, 60 miles from the Mexican border, close to Big Bend National Park and the Davis Mountains.

Judd’s specific intention was to create permanent installations of contemporary art, insulated from the visual and programmatic distractions of most art museums. He sought a unified experience in which art, architecture and the surrounding natural environment would be inextricably linked. The remote location he chose reinforces the impact of some of the late 20th century's most extraordinary works of art. The museum, which has a total of 34 buildings, is situated on 340 acres of land in the high Chihuahuan desert, 4,685 feet above sea level. The permanent collection includes works by Carl Andre, Ingólfur Arnarsson, John Chamberlain, Dan Flavin, Roni Horn, Donald Judd, Ilya Kabakov, Richard Long, Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, David Rabinowitch and John Wesley. A large-scale installation by artist Robert Irwin will be added to the permanent collection and open to the public in 2016.

The Chinati Foundation organizes annual special exhibitions, related public programs, artists' residencies, college and university internships, art classes for students and adults, international symposia (the proceedings of which are published), seminars, performances, lectures, concerts and other annual celebrations -- setting a standard for artistic excellence while continuing to engage the community and visitors and deepen their appreciation of contemporary art. The museum publishes an award-winning annual newsletter that chronicles its activities and has become one of the most respected publications of its kind in America.

Chinati has a long-range plan that affirms its commitment to preserving its installations, buildings, and land and expanding the collection according to Donald Judd’s vision.  The operation of the museum is supported by earned and contributed income, including the proceeds of a growing endowment currently valued at approximately $14 million.   It is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of 20 voting directors.
