Donald Judd Spaces maps the full extent of Judd's built world — from a 19th-century cast-iron building in Manhattan to an expansive ranch in western Texas — through newly commissioned photography, archival images, five essays, and the artist's own architectural drawings.
About This Book
This newly expanded edition is the most complete visual document of Donald Judd's living and working environments yet published. Where critical attention has long focused on Judd's discrete objects, this book insists on something larger: that the spaces themselves — their furniture, structures, and surrounding land — constitute an integrated artistic and philosophical project. Edited by Rainer Judd and Flavin Judd, it covers the interiors, exteriors, and landscapes of each site stewarded by the Judd Foundation, presenting them as expressions of Judd's uncompromising attention to function, spatial design, and the preservation of existing architecture. Essential reading for anyone serious about Minimalism, site-specificity, or the relationship between art and inhabitation.
