Marfa, Texas Viva Las Vegas! Burning Man
Marfa, Texas
In 1979, Minimalist sculptor Donald Judd (1929-1994) left the confines of NYC for the open spaces and wide vistas of the desert. An abandoned army base outside of Marfa, Texas, today called the Chinati Foundation, proved to be the ideal venue for his work.

Viva Las Vegas!
Tourists wait hours to see masterpieces by Van Gogh and Monet. A local real-estate baron flaunts his new collection of Picassos. We're in an international center for culture, right? We're in Las Vegas -- a town with a taste for casinos, cash, and commerce.

Burning Man
It's an experiment in temporary community. It's an arts festival. It's a party and a ritual. Every year, 30,000 people make a pilgrimage to a week-long event known as Burning Man.
