Synopsis
A sweeping selection of Donald JuddÆs iconic and ambitious works alongside a diverse collection of newly commissioned writings.
''One of the most significant American artists of the postwar period, Donald Judd rigorously experimented with color, form, material, and space. The works in this catalogue range from the artistÆs expansive installations to self-contained single units, yielding valuable new insights into his process and approach. The survey includes one of the artistÆs largest and most intricate installations of sixty-three wall-mounted plywood boxes, conceived in 1986. Other works include variations on some of JuddÆs most recognizable forms, executed in materials such as Cor-ten steel, plexiglass, copper, plywood, brushed aluminum, and enameled aluminum. Brilliant and exacting reproductions bring these works to life on the page. Following the artistÆs major retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 2020, this book serves as a companion volume.

À propos des auteurs
With the intention of creating straightforward work that could assume a direct material and physical "presence" without recourse to grand philosophical statements, Donald Judd (1928-1994) eschewed the classical ideals of representational sculpture to create a rigorous visual vocabulary that sought clear and definite objects as its primary mode of articulation.
