Donald Judd

b. 1928, Excelsior Springs, Missouri, USA
d. 1994, New York, USA

Donald Judd (b. 1928, d. 1994) was an American artist and writer, and a key figure in the development of Minimalism. From the 1960s onwards, Judd developed a body of work that moved beyond the conventions of painting and sculpture, establishing a new language of objects defined by material, proportion, colour, volume and space. His works were often realised through industrial fabrication, using materials such as aluminium, steel, plywood, Plexiglass and anodised metal to achieve a clarity and precision removed from the expressive gesture of the artist’s hand. Repetition, seriality and carefully calibrated relationships between form and setting became central to his practice.
