Donald Judd
Born: June 1928
Died: February 1994
"Donald Judd's Untitled, 1989 (Bernstein 89-24) made its debut at Crystal Bridges, and it will undoubtedly raise some questions. What could have prompted the creation of such a startlingly minimal work of art? At 15 feet tall, the sculpture dominates its space, and yet yields little of its secrets. There is no evidence of the hand of the artist, no reference to anything represented, no expressivity to be perceived."
I feel that this work of art is very minimal in every sense. There is no explanation to what the work of art actually is, as consumers the only thing that we get from this piece of art is that it has a sense of incredible depth and colour. Judd calls these pieces of art "Specific objects" rather than sculptures, installations or works of art. They were called specific because the artist carefully occupied it's shape, size and material. They were named as objects because they were "Fabricated" rather than sculptured like a work of art or sculpture would be.
