The artwork titled “To Susan Buckwalter” was created by Donald Judd in 1964. It belongs to the Minimalism art movement and falls under the sculpture genre.
The artwork is characterized by its clean lines and geometric form, hallmarks of the Minimalist art movement. It consists of a horizontal arrangement of four rectangular blocks, which appear to be made of a metallic material and feature a rough, textured surface. The blocks are mounted on a wall and are unified by a slim horizontal strip along the top, adding a touch of contrast with its smooth surface. The simplicity of the design and the industrial materials used evoke a sense of order and precision, reflecting Judd’s intent to emphasize the physical aspects of the artwork itself rather than any representational or symbolic meaning. The sparse, uncluttered presentation reinforces the minimalist aesthetic, inviting viewers to engage with the pure form and space.
