Judd is also one of the artists who went out and colonized Marfa, Texas in the 1980s.
Far West Texas is beautiful on its own. It didn't need the arrogance of simplistic and nihilistic concrete and steel boxes left in the land like an abandoned worksite.

There's something special about the spareness of the landscape and Judd's works in them. It makes the touristy aspects of Marfa tolerable to an extent.
