Untitled

Mediums: copper.
Location: the Tate Gallery, London (the UK).

Assuming that the work of art should not contain any traces of the direct influence of the artist, Donald Judd tried to exclude them from his compositions. He created the work of 1973 from copper. It is a sequential repetition of identical elements located on the wall in a horizontal position. Unlike his vertical “shelving”, where each detail exists separately, parts of this work are combined into a single whole using a common foundation. Shiny rounded blocks and the distances between them are not the same size. Each protruding part increase by 1.5 inches to the right and the gaps between them change in the same way but in the reverse order.
