Description

An authoritative have a look at the art, life, and legacy of a revered artist

This pioneering, critically acclaimed book, at the beginning published in 2010 and now to be had in paperback, is an authoritative and enlightening guide to a wide selection of works by the great American artist Donald Judd (1928–1994).  Showcasing all of the breadth of Judd’s practices, the book draws on documents from nearly twenty archives and investigates Judd and his work both within and out of doors the context of the 1960s Minimalist art movement.  David Raskin explains why a few of Judd’s works seem startlingly ephemeral whilst others remain insistently physical; within the process of answering this perplexing question, Raskin traces Judd’s principles from his beginnings as an art critic through his fabulous installations and designs in Marfa, Texas.
 
Raskin develops a actually singular picture of Judd: he shows us an artist who asserted his individuality with spare designs; who found spiritual values in plywood, Plexiglas, and industrial production; who refused to distinguish between thinking and feeling whilst asserting that science marked the limits of knowledge; who claimed that his art provided intuitions of morality but not a specific set of tenets; and who worked for political causes that were neither left nor right.
