Between the years 1967 and 1992, Donald Judd made eight different sets of works in editions ranging from three to two hundred. As diverse as his unique works in three dimensions, Judd’s editions were made for the floor, the wall, and the table in a range of materials: stainless steel, galvanized iron, cold-rolled steel, anodized aluminum, acrylic sheet, and wood. His concern with space, color, and material are expressed across his work in three dimensions, although his works in editions are often smaller, with the largest individual work in a set measuring one meter in length and width. This particular work is open on both ends, revealing an interior lined with brown Plexiglass. It was made in an edition of fifty in collaboration with Gemini Graphic Editions Limited, a Los Angeles artists’ workshop and publisher founded in 1966.
