He did not attempt to deliver his own political or social messages, but insisted his goal was to focus on the space occupied and created by his objects &#8211; their purity of form. This style of art was called minimalism, and Judd was one of it&#8217;s greatest proponents. He became well known for sleek, boxlike constructions made of industrial materials such as plywood, sheet metal, and plexiglass that were painted using commercial techniques. Stacked, aligned, cantilevered, or centered, their strict geometric arrangements eliminated the idea of composition and achieved a singular focus on the object itself. Although his art is resolutely three-dimensional, Judd refused to call them sculpture, a term he associated with the hand-crafted art of an earlier era. Instead, he referred to them as &#8220;<em>specific objects<\/em>&#8220;&#8211;a phrase meant to suggest their neutral and unique nature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"excerpt\" style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I wanted to create reality<br \/>\nnot a picture of it&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; Donald Judd<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Description:<\/strong> Stiff wraps with brown paper dust jacket. 1\/2750 printed copies. 134 pages.
