For these nuggets alone, younger artists would learn much from this book., Brick-size, over 1,000 pages long, it reflects the immense range of his interest in art, history and politics, and his disgruntlement with the state of the world...in all, a stimulating portrait of this intractable artist and thinker., Thanks to the force of Judd's critical intelligence, this [book] is ...by many measures as heavy as any other written by any of his contemporaries., Reading Judd's prose two decades after his death, you will experience, amid the overheated and gaseous atmosphere of the contemporary art world, an invigorating blast of cold, clear air., The artist's exacting aesthetic is faithfully served by both the clear presentation and the physical construction of Donald Judd Writings .
