Judd Foundation - Marfa, Texas

I had an amazing experience with the folks at Judd!! Jules gave our group a tour and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! I met Natalie in their office and she was similarly very friendly and accommodating - I would definitely recommend paying them a visit for anyone passing through the area

Myself and some friends took a tour of the Judd Foundation on our trip to Marfa and had an amazing time. The pace of the tour was excellent; it didn't feel like we were being rushed through and there was plenty of time to explore the space. The selection of Judd merchandise is also great. Our tour guide did a wonderful job!

Tour guide on the studio tour was as minimalist as the art as far as sharing information and insight. 1.5 hr tour took 40mins.

If you want an unbiased account of the works of Donald Judd then this is not the foundation for you

I took two different Donald Judd tours and had two different experiences.

The first tour was wonderful, for the guide took time for questions and provided researched based explanations. He was able to inform between fact and inferences. This guy was a younger gentlemen.

However, the second tour was rapid. He did not pause nor give time for questions. Rather, you had to stop him midway and ask a questions. Sometimes you were met with what appeared to be agitation, and other times with blanket statements. This guide was older and wore cowboy boots and a hat.

The younger tour guide was modest. The guide would let you know what was the extent of his thinking rather than a blunt statement.

The older tour guide would get mad if you asked a question to something he already answered.

He didn't understand that the human mind can only hold so much things at one time, and breathing space is necessary to have a thoughtful dialogue about what we guest are not experts in.

The four stars are for the younger guide.

You can walk here from basically anywhere in town. It's a really fun tour to do whether you're a Judd fan or not. Looking into an artist's domicile and work space like that is always cool and he lived in a very interesting way. His archive collection is amazing and you get to see some works and his living area as well.

Interesting and informative would be the two best adjectives I would use to describe the docents of our two separate tours. The only recommendation I would have would be to somehow abbreviate the background info given at the beginning of each. This ended up being 30 min of redundancy. At least the info shared was identical at each presentation! Otherwise, worth the time and money.

You really have to experience Judd’s work here, as everything has been carefully curated as the artist himself intended. Plus Marfa has its own vibe that distinguishes places like MOMA. If you are a Judd fan, it’s absolutely a must-see!
