[upbeat rock music] - you know, if you talk about life-changing events in any neighborhood, it's when the artists show up. - when my father donald judd came to marfa in the early '70s, it was a ranching community and an old railroad town. - the legend is, of course, that he looked at a map and was looking to the least populated area of america and came out here. is that true? - yeah, that is. i mean, he did a lot of looking for places that had very few people, and very few trees and lots of space. he had been working hard for so long. and i think coming out to marfa was this reward.
