Since its founding in the storied but remote West Texas town of Marfa, Ballroom Marfa has punched above its weight. From one of its debut shows including renowned artist Takashi Murakami, to Elmgreen & Dragset's now-iconic Prada Marta installation, to live performances by Sonic Youth and John Waters, to large-scale commissions from Agnes Dates and Haroon Mirza, Ballroom's impact has reverberated far beyond the desert.
This book is a kaleidoscopic collection of highlights from the museum's first two decades, as told by the artists, musicians, curators, and community around this global art destination.
