The artwork, titled “Untitled (77-41 Bernstein),” was created by the artist Donald Judd in 1977. This sculpture, crafted from plexiglas and iron, is a notable example of the Minimalism art movement.
The sculpture features a series of solid, rectangular forms stacked vertically against a wall. Each form is separated by a small space, creating a rhythm and repetition that is characteristic of Judd’s work. The materials, plexiglas and iron, highlight an industrial aesthetic, with a focus on simplicity and precision. The linearity and geometric clarity of the piece are enhanced by the contrast between the solid, opaque surfaces and the more translucent quality of the plexiglas, subtly revealing the interplay of light and shadow within the sculpture.
