One of the best galleries in the nation for modern minimalism. Make sure to view when visiting Marfa, Texas.

This is a review of the Block Tour…read more The tour itself was fine, but charging $20 for a 45-minute tour (the website says 90, but that's just not the case) is ridiculous. You see a few neat spaces, but about half of the spaces within the block are off-limits, including the more interesting library, and both sets of living quarters. (You can only peer into them through windows, hurriedly.) There wasn't as much background or explication as I expected -- nothing at all about Judd's working style or how he used the galleries, for example. Disappointing.

I enjoyed The Block, the Donald Judd studio in Marfa, TX. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and…read morefriendly, but like the place she was a little fragile. Strangely, they do not allow children under 12. This was not clear from their mobile site. We were told, they do not want children running around the property. Langton would have done exactly that. After driving for hours I was going to go anyway. This meant Keri, Langton and Jack Wuest had to occupy themselves for an hour and a half while I went on the tour. I would like to return to Marfa again and spend more time there, but there is a precious vibe - no kids under 12, and my guide was rattled when I was conferring more about the artist when she was giving her introduction.

It appears to have settled into a more predictable groove. Of course, the reason for this town's fame is Donald Judd's Chinati Foundation. I do my infrequent pilgrimage to Chinati for one reason: to see his '100 untitled works in mill aluminum.' I like choosing the open viewing versus the guided tour option because it gives me time to walk among the aluminum blocks undisturbed in relative silence with no time limit. The sun's angle hit different pieces producing different angles of contrast and shimmer. Being in these two buildings is like standing in a mash up of a cathedral and an after-hours machine shop. So many get frustrated with Donald Judd's work. They place demands on what it all means and they walk out dismissively when enlightenment doesn't happen. I toss out my brain and my thoughts. I don't come here to figure anything out. I walk the aisles and just breathe it all in. It's soothing and gratifying; part of the spiritual reset that Chinati and Marfa can do. P.S. Chinati still doesn't allow photography inside their buildings or galleries. I visited once when a rare exception was made. Almost every other art institution in North America allows non-flash photography. It's time for Chinati to allow for the same.
