Donald Judd

description

Mediums: brass and red flourescent Plexiglas.
Location: the Guggenheim Museum, New York (the USA).

The work consists of six separate cubic elements, the distance between which is completely the same. Donald Judd always said that his work consisting of several parts should be considered as a whole, and the gaps between the elements exist to create a certain rhythm in the composition. For the sculpture, the artist used plexiglass and combined it with a shiny brass surface. The resulting combination effectively combines two different characteristics: the smooth metal reflects the surrounding space like a mirror, while the red translucent glass beckons with its depth and makes you want to come closer and look inside. The impression of work varies depending on the angle of view of the person who is looking at it and on the lighting.
