The…read morenext day I was visiting shops and needed to go to the restroom and remembered the one in the lobby of the George, right past Hey I Like It Here. I've been visiting Marfa for over ten years and each time it seems more commercialized, crowded, and expensive. This shop is typical of the higher end businesses populating Marfa but they had some nice items such as face and hair masks, candles, t-shirts and a fun assortment of unique soft and hard beverages. I felt guilty about only using the bathroom since I wasn't a hotel guest so I bought a hair mask and pretty silk printed bandana (made in Portland). Unlike many of the other places in Marfa, HILIH was actually open on a Wednesday afternoon. Most businesses we tried to visit were closed even though they advertised themselves as being open. This wasn't totally surprising since Marfa mostly caters to weekend visitors. Service was friendly and accommodating.

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.

It's a bummer because it's a cute store with a really great curation of books and other things. But really Marfa is a bummer in general.

As you enter the gallery your senses are immediately overtaken by how much amazing cool stuff is literally everywhere. My 7yr old daughter exclaimed "wow mommy this place is so awesome!" the moment we set foot inside. Although she's been in before, the store is ever changing with decor and goodies everywhere. There are paintings, sculpture and photographs- all originals - throughout the store. Fun jewelry, beautiful clothing and gift items galore are in every nook and cranny. I highly recommend walking in and going straight back, down the hall to start. And then work your way forward again as you look at both sides of the walls. It's like art, color and vibrance jump off the walls at each turn. They have custom framing available and although I didn't get any done, my friend who lives in Alpine swears they are the best (compared to Dallas, TX for pricing and quality). I was delighted to see original paintings from an artist we saw in a friend's home. My daughter chose 3 paintings as a gift for her dad (Fathers Day was upon us) very reasonably priced at $85 each. I didn't want them sitting in my truck as I ran more errands so Kelly offered to package them for us to pick up the next day on our way out of town. During past trips to Alpine, and Kiowa Art Gallery, I have purchased tunic tops, earrings and hand-blown glass ornaments. This is one of our favorite places and we love popping in when we visit Alpine!
