Donald Judd

Repetition as structure

Donald Judd was an American artist whose work defined minimalism. Rejecting illusion and metaphor, he constructed objects from metal, plywood, Plexiglas, and industrial fabrication. His “specific objects” use modular repetition, measured gaps, and consistent proportion to create spatial clarity.

Judd’s wall stacks, progressions, and box series articulate how form occupies and divides space. Color and surface are integral, not decorative.
