| Untitled (1980): Donald Judd was an American artist associated with minimalism though he disavowed the label, The new three dimensional work doesn’t constitute a movement, school, or style. The common aspects are too general and too little common to define a movement. The differences are greater than the similarities. [Source: tate.org.uk] Judd began making stacks in the 1960s. Most consist of ten elements, although there is variation in the materials used. The stacks are all ordered according to strict principles: the gap between each unit, and between the first unit and the floor, should be equal to the height of a single unit. Since the units are all identical, their significance derives from this pre-determined geometric order rather than from any individual features.

 Image source: menil.org | Installation: The minimalist Dan Flavin revolutionized art in the 1960s by using light from standard fluorescent tubes as a sculptural medium. In 1990 Dominique de Menil approached him to create a permanent, site-specific installation at Richmond Hall. Just two days before his death in November 1996. The Flavin installation at Richmond Hall radiates an environment and atmosphere likened to both ‘carnival and cathedral’ by The Boston Globe. [Source: menil.org] |
