This pioneering book, the first monograph devoted to Donald Judd,
addresses the whole breadth of Judd's practices. Drawing on
documents found in nearly twenty archives, David Raskin explains
why some of Judd's works of art seem startlingly ephemeral while
others remain insistently physical. In the process of answering
this previously perplexing question, Raskin traces Judd's
principles from his beginnings as an art critic through his
fabulous installations and designs in Marfa, Texas. He discusses
Judd's early important paintings and idiosyncratic red objects, as
well as the three-dimensional works that are celebrated throughout
the world. He also examines Judd's commitment to empirical values
and his political activism, and concludes by considering the
importance of Judd's example for recent art. Ultimately, Raskin
develops a picture of Judd as never before seen: he shows us an
artist who asserted his individuality with spare designs; who found
spiritual values in plywood, Plexiglas, and industrial production;
who refused to distinguish between thinking and feeling while
asserting that science marked the limits of knowledge; who claimed
that his art provided intuitions of morality but not a specific set
of tenets; and who worked for political causes that were neither
left nor right.
