Donald Judd House+Studio

1 July 2013

As well as allowing you to see how he lived and worked, a visit to Donald Judd’s home and studio, at 101 Spring Street, New York, provides an opportunity to admire all the works, over 500 of them, by his fellow artists that Judd collected over the years: Claes Oldenburg, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Marcel Duchamp, Ad Reinhardt and many others. The building has recently been restored by the Architecture Research Office (ARO), which has reconstructed the interiors and exteriors exactly as they were at the end of the sixties, when the artist moved there with his family. NB: it’s strange to think that in those days Mercer Street was a rundown area.
