Untitled (Aluminum), 1991

Extruded aluminum, anodized in 12 different colors, 15 x 105 x 15 cm (6¼ x 41 x 6¼ in), edition of 12 each color.

This edition realizes a long-cherished project of Donald Judd and required the specially developed custom fabrication of an industrial tool that enabled the desired shape to be produced through extrusion in a single process – without screws or welds. The anodization of the aluminum causes the color pigments to penetrate the material structure, becoming an integral part of the surface, thereby continuing Judd’s consistent fusion of material, color, and form. The extrusion profile was designed by Donald Judd as a logical division of the symmetrical space.
