Biography:
Donald Judd began his career working as an art critic for Arts Magazine. As an artist, he began as a painter but began sculpting in the 1960’s. It was during this decade that he began producing the box arrangements that he is best known for. He initially worked in wood, adopting industrially manufactured metal boxes in the late 1960’s. In the early 1970’s, his work took the form of installations and he eventually moved his sculptures outside. Around this time, he moved from New York to Texas and converted an army base into his personal studio.
