Why there’s no photograph of anything famous
If you go to Marfa, you’ll see the influence of sculptor Donald Judd’s Chinati Foundation. And if you visit the Foundation, you’ll have to agree, in writing, to not publish any photographs that you take of the various art installations. So, instead of seeing my shots of the famous 100 untitled works in milled aluminum, you get this: ruins of something that’s across the street from the Foundation’s headquarters.
(I don’t think I agreed to not publish any shots of the ruins.)
(And, anyway, I like this better than the milled aluminum boxes. Even though my photographs of them were quite fabulous.)
