Donald Judd began to create drawn up compositions consisting of several repeating elements back in the 60s and again returned to these forms in a later period of his career. They consist of ten identical volumetric bars, the lateral parts of which are made of metal, and the front ones are made of blue plexiglass. These sculptures, the so-called “Racks”, are attached to the wall at the same distance from each other, which is equal to the thickness of each block. To minimize his influence on the work, Judd ordered parts of the sculpture at the factory and assigned specially hired people to install them.
