Artists in conversation

Donald Judd
American · b. 1928

Judd's stacked and serialized sculptures frequently combined industrial materials like Plexiglas and finished wood in geometric modular arrangements, directly paralleling Price's four part composition using refined maple and transparent acrylic. Both artists share a commitment to materiality, precise fabrication, and minimalist geometric form.

John McCracken
American · b. 1934

McCracken worked with highly polished industrial surfaces and resin coated wood forms that emphasized material presence and color in a minimalist sculptural context, much like Price's use of carmine toned maple and transparent Plexiglas. His focus on the sensuous qualities of fabricated materials aligns closely with this specific piece.

Peter Halley
American · b. 1953

Halley engages with geometric abstraction and industrial material culture in a contemporary American context, exploring the tension between natural references and constructed surfaces similar to Price's pairing of birdseye maple with manufactured Plexiglas. His interest in seriality and structured geometric compositions resonates with the four part organization of this work.
