Donald Judd

A special selection of Judd’s minimalist works curated by his son, Flavin Judd

This catalog follows the first solo exhibition of Donald Judd’s work in South Korea for nearly 10 years. Judd (1928–94) had a personal connection to Korea, having been stationed in Seoul in 1947. The Korean concept of pungsu, similar to the Chinese Feng shui, was instrumental to his visualization of space. Curated by Flavin Judd, the artist’s son and artistic director of the Judd Foundation, the exhibition presented more than three decades of the artist’s work, and features his experiments in Minimalism across multiple mediums. These works are documented in this publication, which has been conceived in close collaboration with Flavin Judd. The design is a reflection of Donald Judd’s aesthetic values. Its unique binding and layout, which investigate the relationship between presence and emptiness, speak to the rigorous attention to simplicity of form that characterizes the artist’s work.
