Description: Donald Judd
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 …

Description: Donald Judd
Donald Judd created spirit as well as form, thought together with feeling, and ethics alongside uncertainty. Polarities like these help keep existence open, and are, I imagine, one of the reasons why he objected to the label “Minimal.” “I don’t think anyone’s work is...

Description: Donald Judd
Judd made his first “new three-dimensional work” in 1962. He built DSS 29 from a red and black wooden rectangular frame that surrounds a four-foot-long black asphalt pipe, which vertically bisects a canvas covered in light cadmium red paint, wax, and sand (fig....

Description: Donald Judd
Judd said that he came close to writing actual art criticism only once, as opposed to his usual review articles. That was with “John Chamberlain: another view,” an essay from 1963, and he described how Chamberlain’s excessive crumpling, crushing, folding, and joining made the works seem as if they were continuously changing. He called this quality “superfluidity,” and its senses of “freedom . . . and indeterminacy” are the central characteristics, I shall argue, of credible art. …

Description: Donald Judd
Disparity is a method against determinism. It opens existence to free will, which is why credible art never settles. This type of aesthetic experience concentrates the sensual complexity of reality. By reality, I mean both physics and fantasy. “It is a case of a ‘transition,’” Gilles Deleuze explained, “of a ‘change,’ a becoming, but it is a becoming that endures, a change that is substance itself.” We are, disparity makes clear, but the emergence of spirit and matter. …

Description: Donald Judd
Citizenship is the public name for the interest that Henry Steele Commager claimed “challenged authority, dissolved institutions, destroyed security.” Against party mandates, religious commandments, and transcendent aesthetics, satisfaction and unease are the thoughts and feelings that compel us to act and which adjust our course with every breath we take. Being exists in individual failures and social successes, which is a process of trial and error that Perry described with passion. “He who …

Description: Donald Judd
Scale does not stop with Chamberlain, Bontecou, Oldenburg, Judd, or their peers. All art has scale, the facts and values that we judge through interest, shape into local orders, test for credibility, and add to reality. As fully part of that reality, art is but one vibration in the world’s emergence. Popper argued for a similar indeterminism to conclude his empirical theory of experience. “Whether or not we look at the universe as a physical machine,” he wrote, “we should face the fact that it …
