1928 - 1994
Died in New York (United States), born in Excelsior Springs (United States).
Donald Judd (1928–1994, US) studies painting and philosophy and makes a great impact on post-war art as a sculptor, printmaker and critic as a front figure and chief ideologue of Minimal Art. In his essay 'Specific Objects' from 1965 Judd describes the art of the 1960s as neither sculpture nor painting. His later works, industrially manufactured box structures of wood or metal, demonstrate the same tension between the two art forms. He famously denies that his own work is composed and analysable, claiming that it came to him ‘full-blown in the middle of the night’. A very essentialist position!
