The Donald Judd Catalogue Raisonné Project seeks to document and research artworks by Donald Judd, culminating in the publication of an updated and expanded catalogue raisonné that will provide a comprehensive source for Judd scholarship. Judd oversaw the publication of the Donald Judd: Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings, Objects, and Wood-Blocks 1960-1974, edited by Dudley Del Balso, Brydon Smith, and Roberta Smith, on the occasion of his retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, in 1975.
A comprehensive catalogue of Judd prints, Donald Judd, Prints and Works in Editions: A Catalogue Raisonné, edited by Jörg Schellmann and Mariette Josephus Jitta, was published in 1993.
Judd Foundation has initiated a public call for works focused on the documentation of paintings, objects, and wood-blocks. The Foundation seeks to build on archival research by engaging collectors, galleries, and institutions around the world in the expansion of knowledge about Judd’s body of work, which will inform a publication phase to follow.
Judd Foundation invites owners of Donald Judd artworks to complete and submit the Donald Judd Catalogue Raisonné form. We thank you in advance for taking the time to fill out the form and submit information. Your participation constitutes a valued contribution to ongoing Donald Judd scholarship. Submitted materials will become part of Judd Foundation Archives upon completion of the project. Owner information will be restricted by those who request confidentiality.
Judd Foundation does not authenticate or provide valuations of works of art by Donald Judd.
The catalogue raisonné form may be completed electronically here.
To mail submissions, please complete and mail the form [PDF download].
