Donald Judd
The Low Countries 1966–1971
Samenvatting
While much has been written about Donald Judd’s rise in the United States, particularly in New York during the 1960s, his early exposure in Europe has remained largely overlooked. In “Donald Judd: The Low Countries 1966–1971”, professor Wouter Davidts explores the artist’s formative years in the Low Countries—spanning from his participation in a group show at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm in 1965 to his first solo exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven in 1970. Drawing on extensive archival material from the Netherlands and Belgium, this publication unveils how, during the same period that Judd was defining his artistic language in the US, his work was also gaining significant institutional and critical attention across Europe. A compelling examination of the global reach and lasting impact of Judd’s pioneering minimalism.
