I am grateful for supportive friends and trusted readers, including, first and foremost, Jodi Cressman, and also David Anfam, Allan Antliff, Jim Elkins, David Getsy, James Lawrence, Jeff Leiken, Tom Meyer, Mike Schreyach, and Richard Shiff. I also received terrific advice on the manuscript from Harry Cooper, Whitney Davis, and Robert Storr, who read at Yale’s request, and plenty of other help from Missy Allen, Anne Collins Goodyear, Adrian Kohn, Anna Kryczka, Jane McFadden, Amy Peltz, Sarah Guernsey, Urs Peter Flückinger, and Frances Colpitt.

I have worked on this project for years, and have long counted on Marianne Stockebrand and Rob Weiner of the Chinati Foundation, who first opened their doors to me when I was just a student. Judd Foundation fact checked, provided images, and granted copyright permission, and I would like to thank them warmly. Julie Finch detailed the activism in which she and Donald Judd engaged, and Peter Ballantine, who began working for Judd in 1969 and was later employed by the estate and the foundation, has also been an invaluable source of information.

Many people graciously helped with the illustrations, and I would again like to thank Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Douglas Baxter, Pamela Caserta, Carol Corey, Stephanie D’Alessandro, Brenda Danilowitz, Apsara DiQuinzio, Jeanne Dreskin, Matthew Droege, Stellan Ellboj, Heinz Fiechter, Márta Fodor, Jeffrey Grove, Kiowa Hammons, Stephanie Hansen, Eileen Jeng, Anna Jensen, Pascale Keller, Carrie Lambert-Beatty, Nora Lawrence, Shelley Lee, Lyle Listamann, Laura Mahlstein, Mark Markin, John McKinnon, Karin Minger, Ann Marie Nafzinger, John Peter Nilsson, Melissa Hartley Omholt, Heather Palmer, Jane Panetta, Robert Panzer, Mark Pascale, Melissa Passman, Ruth Phaneuf, Neil K. Rector, Jeannette Redensek, James Rondeau, Jen Sellar, Sydney Skelton, Barbara Stanczak, Sarah Stein-Sapir, Davina Semo, Paul Semonin, Dirk Teuber, Bettina Utz, Brennan Wadlington, Layna White, Antonia Wright, and Tyler Campbell Wriston.

Funding was provided by a Wyeth Foundation for American Art Publication Grant from the College Art Association and a Faculty Enrichment Grant from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. A fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities supported a sabbatical during which I drafted this study. And in terms of support, no one has stood behind this project longer than my wonderful publisher, Gillian Malpass, who has patiently waited for this day to come. Thanks, too, to Paul Sloman, my production editor, whose gorgeous design is a reward to us all.

I would lastly like to say “arigato” to my friends from judo. They made this book better without reading a single word.
