Untitled (Aquatints), 1980
Set of 6 aquatints on rag paper, 74 x 86.5 cm each (29 x 34 in), each signed and numbered. Edition of 150.
With this series of aquatint editions, Donald Judd continues his consistent pursuit of reduction and geometric clarity. The six prints, defined by varying arrangements of horizontal lines within square fields, reflect Judd’s principles of serial order and his precise formal rigor. The use of deep black ink on etching paper enhances the contrast and emphasizes the materiality of the works. Subtle variations within the series invite a meditative reflection on the interplay of line, surface, and space – central aspects of Judd’s artistic practice.
