    Deep in the high desert of Far West Texas, an hour’s drive from the Mexican border, sits a little jewel: Marfa. The rural town of less than 2,000 residents, about three hours from El Paso or Midland, is a former water stop along the railroad that runs across Texas. Despite its remoteness, over the past half-century Marfa has become one of the country’s top art towns, set off by the 1971 arrival of artist Donald Judd, who found inspiration in the area’s stirring bleakness.
