Locations were around the world; Number 48 was MARFA, TX.
Marfa was described as: "This small town in West Texas has become a destination for those attracted to the funky and the low-key vibe that endures despite the high wattage work on view -- largely that of the late artist Donald Judd, who moved to the dusty town in the 1970's, and opened the Chinati Foundation to showcase large installations by contemporary artists."
I believe it's safe to say that I have always been attracted to the funky; and I've always been attracted to Contemporary Art. Marfa seemed to be the place for me!
Plus, this year a new 10,000-square-foot installation by Robert Irwin will be unvelied.
PLUS, the Hotel Saint George, originally opened in 1886, opened its doors this spring after a year-and-a-half renovation, reconceived as a 55-room boutique hotel, highlighting work from local artists.
So... funky place, contemporary art, and a boutique hotel! I'm on my way!
And... a best-friend road trip across Texas, I'm ready to hit the road.
Driving west on Monday, September 26--- traveling mercies.
