The untitled artwork by Donald Judd created in 1994 falls under the movement of Minimalism and is a sculpture. It exemplifies the minimalist aesthetic characterized by an emphasis on the physical space it occupies and its materiality without any representational content.
The artwork consists of six rectangular boxes aligned vertically at equal intervals on a wall. These boxes appear to be made of a wood-like material with a metal finish, exhibiting a simple, clean design with straight lines and right angles. Each box is divided into smaller, equal-sized partitions that contribute to the artwork’s rhythmical and orderly appearance. The repetitive structure and the use of industrial materials are hallmarks of Judd’s minimalist approach, where the focus is on the object itself rather than symbolic representation. The sculpture’s interaction with the wall and surrounding space demonstrates Judd’s exploration of three-dimensional geometric forms and their relationship to the environment they are placed in.
