This work by Donald Judd, acquired by the museum in 1979, is a characteristic example of Minimalist art. In the 1960s and 1970s artists pushed their quest for a pure and abstract art form to the extreme. They believed that a form, colour or surface should refer to nothing other than itself. Judd made Minimalist three-dimensional forms from which every form of personal expression is excluded.
