Donald Judd

horizontal woodblock in clear sugar pine

1989

A precisely constructed horizontal woodblock crafted from clear sugar pine, this work exemplifies Donald Judd's commitment to the inherent qualities of materials and the reduction of form to its most essential state. The natural grain and warm tone of the sugar pine are allowed to speak for themselves, free from expressive manipulation or illusion. True to Judd's philosophy, the piece occupies real space with quiet authority, inviting the viewer to engage with its literal, unambiguous presence.
