Summary:

"One of the most influential American artists of the post-war period, Donald Judd (1928-1994) changed the course of modern sculpture. Seen as a leading figure in Minimalism (a term he disliked), Judd constantly confounded expectations through the breadth of his own vision and the intensity of his critical engagement with both his own and other artists' work. This fully illustrated examination of his work, featuring essays by leading authorities from around the world, is the most comprehensive and up-to-date publication on Judd available. Beginning as a critic and painter, Judd moved into three dimensions in the early 1960s, with box-like structures arranged on the gallery floor or mounted on the wall. Initially constructed by hand, his sculptures were later industrially manufactured in such materials as galvanised iron, steel, Plexiglas and plywood. His use of brightly hued lacquers, vibrant colours and polished metals ran counter to the public's understanding of what 'minimalist' sculpture should look like. The authors explore the conflicts between previous critical interpretations of Judd and his own philosophical, political and moral understanding of his work. They also examine the importance of colour and new man-made materials in Judd's work. The inclusion of a section on Judd's own permanent installations at the remote town of Marfa, Texas, a full chronology and a major essay by the artist on his own use of colour, completes a comprehensive survey of this compelling artist." -- Dust Jacket.
