Donald Judd 1957–1963: Paintings and Objects

The most comprehensive exploration to date of Donald Judd's paintings and early work, covering the pivotal seven-year period in which he transitioned from two-dimensional to three-dimensional practice, a shift that helped shape the look of the late twentieth century and continues to influence artists, architects, and designers. Designed by Flavin Judd and Michael Dyer, the book is structured as two softcover volumes bound into a single hardcover case, opening in opposite directions: one carries three essays, the other reproduces plates, details, personal photographs, and printed ephemera. Eileen Costello's essay "Maybe It's the Fact That I'm a Painter" traces Judd's artistic emergence and the persistence of color into his later three-dimensional work; Lynn Zelevansky's "Donald Judd and Painting" examines individual paintings against the art and theory of Judd's time; Sarah K. Rich's "The Ground and the Center: Inside the Paintings of Donald Judd" connects the material and optical structure of his paintings to his sculpture.
