DONALD JUDD book

DONALD JUDD
David Raskin

This book, by art critic David Raskin, who teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, examines the work of Donald Judd, a leading artist of Minimalism. Based on materials from nearly 20 archives, it explores Judd's work from both inside and outside the context of 1960s Minimalism, introducing the full scope of his activities. The book delves into the reasons why ephemeral and physical aspects coexist in Judd's work. In answering this question, it traces the beginnings of Judd's career, who was also active as an art critic, as well as the principles behind his installations and designs in Marfa, Texas.
