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 late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
