Donald Judd (1928-1994) was one of the most important exponents of
American Minimal Art. Among the lesser known aspects of his work are
numerous architectural drawings in which he explores the relationship
between architecture and art. One particular location was of great
significance to Judds's architectural work: Fort Russell, an abandoned
US military base in the desert near the town of Maria, Texas. Judd
bought parts of the base and systematically converted this space into
one of the largest ensemble collections of contemporary art in the
world.
This book updates and expands on the successful Donald Judd,
Architecture in Marfa, Texas (2007).This new edition presents two
additional building complexes in Maria and includes a new epilogue by
the author, which places Judd's architectural work in a contemporary
context.
- Available in a new, extended
edition, this is the first book to examine Judd's architectural work
from the perspective of an architect - Maria: a place of pilgrimage for architects, landscapers, designers
and artists
- Historical documents, new photographs and standardized CAD drawings
