My God, it's barren here - how cool! Marfa in Texas was little more than a watering hole on the edge of the desert until a U.S. art star took refuge in the backwater and founded an artists' colony. Now the cool and the vain invade it, and the oasis of tranquility degenerates into a stronghold for hipsters – like me. However, Donald Judd was the original hipster of Marfa. The legendary all-around artist came, saw and bought. The bank. Houses, halls, a hotel, a ranch, an airplane hangar. Finally, dozens of barracks on one and a half square kilometers of semi-desert, since then a mausoleum of his life's work.
