A pair of colors that I knew of as a child in Nebraska was red and black. Donald Judd, 1994

1988

Six aluminum wall-mounted units arranged in a vertical stack, each box-like form finished in a vivid red and black color combination that evokes the stark, open landscapes of the American Midwest. Judd's signature Minimalist approach transforms simple industrial materials into a precise exploration of color relationships and spatial intervals. The work reflects his lifelong interest in how color and form interact, here anchored by a deeply personal connection to the visual memories of his Nebraska childhood.

Medium
stamped with artist's signature and title "DONALD JUDD 88-16 A-F ALUMINIUM AG MENZIKEN" on the reverse of each unit
