This object is one of a group of twelve unique works created for Donald Judd’s solo exhibition at the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden in 1989 (Donald Judd, August 27–October 15). Each of the pieces share the same exterior dimensions, while the interiors reveal a variety of combinations of colored anodized aluminum and acrylic planes. Although they were conceived and executed as a group, Judd considered them to be “totally distinct” within a “very large” number of possible variations.1
A sheet of black anodized aluminum bisects the bottom panel of this work and extends halfway up. Judd installed two of the other works from the Baden-Baden exhibition in his Print Building in Marfa, Texas.
