ELGER, Dietmer. Donald Judd: Colorist.

(Ostfildern-Ruit, Germany): Hatje Cantz Verlag, 2000.  First edition.  Hardcover.  23.4cm by 23.4cm.  129 pages. Published by Hatje Cantz in 1999, this 132-page hardcover volume features 66 color illustrations and includes essays by William C. Agee, Martin Engler, and Judd himself.  The book challenges the traditional perception of Judd as a strict minimalist by highlighting his nuanced use of colour, particularly from the mid-1980s onward. It draws parallels between Judd’s work and that of artists like Henri Matisse, emphasizing how Judd’s use of coloured Plexiglas and reflective metals creates complex visual experiences that transcend mere form. ​Includes Judds own essay, “Some Aspects of Color in General and Red and Black in Particular” (1993), where he articulates his theories on colour relationships and spatial dynamics.  A very good copy in dust jacket.
