A partnership with Lauretta Vinciarelli

Around 1978 Judd becomes involved, professionally and romantically, with Lauretta Vinciarelli, an Italian-born architect and artist; for roughly a decade she lives and works with him in Marfa and New York and collaborates on projects in Providence and Cleveland, and her influence shows in his architecture and furniture. In 1986 William C. Agee reports in Architectural Digest that the two are starting a firm.

1979

Buys desert land with the former Fort D. A. Russell

In 1979, with the help of the Dia Art Foundation, Judd buys a 340-acre (1.4 km²) tract of desert near Marfa that includes the abandoned buildings of the former U.S. Army Fort D. A. Russell; here the “Marfa Project”, now the Chinati Foundation, will take shape.
