The Donald Judd Historic District in Marfa, Texas, has been officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This district includes 15 buildings altered by Judd and his 15 untitled works in concrete, reflecting his artistic vision from the 1970s until his death in 1994. The recognition emphasizes the importance of context in understanding Judd's work, as noted by his son and the director of the Judd Foundation. The site, including buildings managed by both the Judd and Chinati Foundations, is situated on the historic Fort D.A. Russell grounds, previously classified as a military site.
This important recognition provides a context through which to understand Don's work. Few people make their own world of art, design and architecture.
Context is central to visitors' experience of Chinati and Judd's living and working spaces in Marfa. This recognition heightens our awareness of the conditions.
