The first US retrospective of Donald Judd's work in more than 30 years, this richly illustrated catalog traces the full arc of a career that fundamentally reshaped modern sculpture. Beginning with his early paintings and handmade reliefs of the 1960s, it moves through the iconic stacks, hollow boxes, and progressions fabricated in metals and plastics that defined his mature practice — and into his final decade, marked by an expansive engagement with color.

Judd was among a generation of artists who sought to strip art of illusion, narrative, and metaphor entirely. What remained was real space, industrial material, and an unwavering formal logic. Essays drawing on newly available archival materials from the Judd Foundation expand the scholarly record, addressing his beginnings in painting, his fabrication methods, his site-specific installations, and his enduring work in design and architecture. An essential volume for anyone drawn to minimalism at its most uncompromising.
