Some Art I Have Seen and Liked

Part 3: Untitled by Donald Judd (1988)



Ah, Donald Judd. Who knew there could be such beauty in precision, in boxes upon boxes? But there is. Judd's work moves me in strange ways.

Go minimalism!

Hmmmm.... You know, my favorite classes in college were my art history classes. I loved it and ever since have enjoyed looking at art and analizing it. But I could never get the "new" stuff.

I'm looking for some meaning that's not there I suppose. I think I'm looking at it the wrong way. I just don't get it.

But I think this would made an awesome cd rack :-D

was that blasphemous? ;)

Last summer I went to MASS MOCA in the Berkshires. I didn't really pay attention to the CA part of it, having been spoiled by MOMA and thinking modern, modern, modern...Wow, was it contemporary. I did see some very cool stuff after I got over my disappointment in not seeing Modern art. Also some really weird stuff, like a giant frog ribbeting. And this cool/strange exhibit:

Donald Judd as CD rack? Yes, blaspehemy!

EDW, thanks for the link. Guo-Qiang's Transparent Monument is, well, spacy. I'm more a fan of MA than CA but there are some contemporaries who knock me out: Basquiat, definitely; Rauschenberg, often; Judd in weird ways.
