Donald Judd: Architecture in Marfa, Texas [German]

By Urs Peter Flckiger and Urs Peter Flückiger

(Bilingual Edition: English / German)
The arcitectural work of Donald Judd

Donald Judd was one of the most important
exponents of American Minimal Art. Among the lesser-known aspects of his
work are the numerous built architectural projects in which he explores
the relationship between architecture art, furniture, and landscape.
One particular location was of great significance to Judd's
architectural work: Fort D.R. Russell, a former US military base in the
Chihuahuan desert on the southern edge of the pioneer town of Marfa,
Texas. Judd acquired the fort and other structures in Marfa which he
systematically converted into one of the largest ensemble collections of
contemporary art in the world.

This new edition updates and
expands on the successful book of 2007. It presents two additional
building complexes southwest of Marfa and includes a new epilogue by the
author, which places Judd's built architectural work from its beginning
at 101 Spring Street, Judd's studio and residence in New York, and the
structures in Marfa in a contemporary context.

New, extended edition, first book to examine Judd's architectural work from the perspective of an architect Marfa: a place of pilgrimage for architects, landscapers, and artists Historical documents, new photographs and drawings
