These photos document the late 1990s renovation of the six U-shaped former barracks buildings that would together comprise the setting for Dan Flavin's untitled Marfa Project, inaugurated in 2000. 

This month features the second of two series of images shot by Sergeant Bernard Langhoop that document life at Camp Marfa in 1927.

Chinati is pleased to offer a limited-edition print created by Erin Shirreff as an exclusive benefit for upper-level Members ($1,000 and above). Shirreff’s edition is related to a new series of photographs, Still, that she made for her recent solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel, Halves and Wholes.

This series of images documents the restoration and adaptation of the former Marfa Wool & Mohair Company building in downtown Marfa, where twenty-two sculptures by John Chamberlain were permanently installed.

Following the inauguration of Robert Irwin's permanent installation, the Chinati Foundation is excited to announce an expanded tour program.

On Saturday, July 23, 2016, from dawn to dusk, the Chinati Foundation/La Fundación Chinati will open a new large-scale artwork by Robert Irwin. Sixteen years in the planning, this long- awaited installation further elaborates Donald Judd’s vision of Chinati as a singular place for contemporary art.

With the wholesale restoration of the artillery sheds still some years away, Chinati has implemented an annual maintenance program for the buildings' gutters. This work keeps up to date an extensive cleaning and recoating treatment that was performed over the summer of 2016. The work is done every spring by museum staff using materials and methods spelled out by the team that designed the re-coating system.

The Chinati Foundation is pleased to announce that it has chosen the firm of Sasaki to partner with the museum on the creation of a master plan. The plan will provide a framework for the conservation, restoration, maintenance, and development of the entire Chinati site.

These images were taken in August 2006, and document the installation of Robert Irwin's 2006 piece "Untitled (four walls" which remained on view through July 2007

This post features invitations, brochures and lists documenting early occurrences of this long-standing community and institutional tradition, referred to at this point as Open House.

The Chinati Foundation is pleased to announce a much-anticipated addition to its permanent collection—a large-scale installation by Robert Irwin.

Natural light is essential for the art experience at Chinati. Most installations at the museum employ the natural light of the reliably strong West Texas Sun as their sole source of illumination year round. While the natural light is a crucial component in the viewing of the installations at Chinati, it simultaneously presents challenges for preserving the art works, particularly the permanent installations in which paper is central to the work, like the Carl Andre and Ilya Kabakov installations.
