An expanded edition of the landmark survey

“The space surrounding my work is crucial to it,” Donald Judd wrote in 1977: “as much thought has gone into the installation as into a piece itself.” Featured spreads are from the Judd Foundation’s gorgeous, 432-page new edition of Donald Judd Spaces, documenting the artist’s iconic, and ultimately highly influential, living and working spaces in New York and around Marfa, Texas. Featuring exquisite new photographs, drawing details and archival materials, and packaged in a wrap of opaque pergamin paper, this is a book that is virtually impossible to put down, both visually and physically. “Both three-dimensional art—painting is a somewhat ambiguous situation—and architecture make space,” he also wrote in 1977. “You could say they define space, but that assumes that space existed prior to the definition, which is debatable. By making lines or points or planes in space, you actually make the space. The thing that a person likes most about three-dimensional art or architecture is the created space. That’s the main given aspect of it—basically, it’s that and the color.”
