Literature: Schellman 92-96 The incomplete set, comprising four aquatints (of 15) on wove paper. Each signed in pencil. Published by the artist, each with the blindstamp of the printer, Styria Studio, New York, with full margins. Each plate 35 1/4 x 24 5/8in (89.5 x 62.5cm) Each sheet 39 7/8 x 29 3/8in (101.3 x 74.6cm). This group of four aquatints from Donald Judd's 1978–79 series (Schellman 92–96) exemplifies his rigorous approach to minimalism and systematic variation. Each print features geometric black forms—vertical lines forming rectilinear enclosures—set against expansive white paper. While appearing uniform at first glance, subtle differences in composition, spacing, and density create rhythmic variation and a sense of depth. Judd's use of aquatint gives the black fields a velvety, saturated texture, emphasizing material presence and precision. Printed at Styria Studio in New York, this incomplete set reflects Judd's concern with modularity and repetition in both two- and three-dimensional formats.

What is Hard Edge Art?
Hard Edge art is a style of abstract painting that became popular in the 1960s. It features areas of color separated by crisp, sharp edges that are painted with geometric precision. The term hard-edge painting was coined by art critic Jules Langsner to describe this approach, which contrasts with the softer, more fluid forms of other abstract styles.
