THE CHINATI FOUNDATION

Misión

THE MISSION OF THE CHINATI FOUNDATION/LA FUNDACION CHINATI IS TO PRESERVE THE VISION OF THE ARTIST DONALD JUDD (1928-1994), WHO IN 1986 FOUNDED THE ORGANIZATION AS A UNIQUE MUSEUM. JUDD INSTALLED LARGE-SCALE WORKS AND GROUPS OF WORK BY HIMSELF AND A LIMITED NUMBER OF OTHER ARTISTS ON A PERMANENT BASIS ACCORDING TO EACH ARTIST'S SPECIFICATIONS. IT WAS JUDD'S GOAL TO BRING ART, ARCHITECTURE, AND THE LAND TOGETHER TO FORM A COHERENT WHOLE. JUDD BELIEVED IN THE PURITY OF ART AND ITS INTRINSIC VALUE FOR HUMANS. HE SITUATED HIS MUSEUM IN MARFA, TEXAS, BELIEVING THAT THE REMOTENESS AND VAST OPEN SPACES OF THE LOCALE ENHANCED VIEWERS' EXPERIENCE OF THE ARTWORKS. CENTRAL TO THIS MISSION ARE CONSERVING THE COLLECTION AND MAKING IT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, WHILE MAINTAINING THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT JUDD INITIATED.
