Carl Andre

Andre shares Judd's commitment to geometric minimalist sculpture using industrial materials such as steel and aluminum, arranging them in precise modular configurations that emphasize physical presence over representation.

Dan Flavin

Flavin worked alongside Judd within the core minimalist movement, using commercially produced fluorescent light fixtures in serial geometric arrangements that similarly challenged traditional notions of sculpture and artistic authorship.
Robert Morris
Morris produced rigorous geometric sculptures in industrial materials and contributed foundational theoretical writing about minimalism that paralleled Judd's own critical and artistic concerns with form, space, and objecthood.
Artists who inspired them

Barnett Newman

Newman's reduction of painting to fundamental color and spatial relationships provided a crucial precedent for Judd's pursuit of non-relational composition and his insistence on the wholeness of a single unified artwork.

Frank Stella

Stella's shaped canvases and non-illusionistic approach to painting pushed Judd toward thinking about art as a literal object in real space, directly contributing to his development of what he called specific objects.
Constantin Brancusi
Brancusi's radical simplification of sculptural form and his attention to the material qualities of metal and stone offered Judd an important historical model for reducing sculpture to its essential geometric and material character.
Artists they inspired
Felix Gonzalez-Torres
Gonzalez-Torres adopted Judd's use of serial repetition and commercially produced materials while infusing those minimalist strategies with personal and political content, extending the formal vocabulary Judd had established.

Anish Kapoor

Kapoor's large scale geometric sculptures in polished industrial materials reflect Judd's influence in their emphasis on pure form, surface quality, and the relationship between the object and the surrounding architectural space.
Pae White
White's practice of merging rigorous geometric abstraction with industrial fabrication and an interest in functional and environmental contexts directly echoes the foundational approach Judd pioneered in both his art and his Marfa installations.
