DONALD JUDD SCULPTURE
In his 1965 essay "Specific Objects," Donald Judd championed recent work by a diverse range of artists such as Lee Bontecou, Mark di Suvero, Claes Oldenburgand Frank Stella that was neither painting nor sculpture. His endorsement of "the thing as a whole" rather than a composition of parts stemmed from what he saw as the strength and clarity asserted by singular forms, the unifying character of which resulted from the combination of color, image, formand surface. Judd’s earliest freestanding sculptures were single, boxlike forms created in wood or metal. As Judd explored three-dimensional space in a more complex way, his goal became to "subordinate a work’s individual components to the whole".
Like the rectangular and cube shapes Judd began his career with, rows and progressions reoccur throughout his career. While spatial aspects were foremost for Judd, color and materials always remained central to his conception of art. Judd’s work contains a rich array of industrial materials, such as stainless steel, aluminumand translucent plexiglas, the varied surfaces and finishes of which lend an elegance to an otherwise austere materials
