The Trouble with Judd

	Donald Judd Untitled 1990 Lent by the American Fund for the Tate Gallery 2002 Art © Donald Judd Foundation/VAGA, New York/DACS, London 2004

Some of the originally polemical aspects of the work of Donald Judd now seem relatively straightforward: his aversion towards expressionism, his use of seriality and repetition, his choices of industrial materials and fabrication methods. Art historian Mark Godfrey will argue that all these issues could be discussed looking at the works in reproduction, but confronting the works in reality allows different, perhaps more difficult, questions to emerge. Taking the audience through the exhibition at Tate Modern, Godfrey will explore how Judd investigated volume and mass, how and why he used colour, why did he sometimes used matt and sometimes shiny materials, and what we might make of the reflections in his work.
