Donald Judd Spaces is the fullest visual survey of the buildings and land Donald Judd lived and worked in across New York and Texas, now in an expanded and revised second edition.
About This Book
For Judd, the places he occupied were never simply backdrops for his art—they were a sustained practice in their own right. Edited by Rainer Judd and Flavin Judd, this volume moves from 101 Spring Street, a 19th-century cast-iron building in Manhattan, to Ayala de Chinati, a ranch spread across the mountains of western Texas, recording the interiors, exteriors and surrounding land of each site now cared for by Judd Foundation. New and archival photography sits alongside five essays and drawings for architecture and design by the artist, showing how furniture, utilitarian structures and careful interventions in existing buildings came together as a coherent whole. This second edition adds spaces restored since the first appeared—photographed and published here for the first time—together with elevations, an interview with Judd and a new foreword.
