“The end was in sight for the restoration of Donald Judd’s Architecture Office in downtown Marfa, Texas, when disaster struck: Just after midnight on June 4, 2021, a fire broke out, partially gutting the two-story mixed-use building that the famed artist and designer purchased in 1990 to use as an office space. The Architecture Office is one of 11 buildings affiliated with Judd that are part of the National Register–listed Central Marfa Historic District.”
