Donald Judd


Judd Foundation announced the opening of 101 Spring Street in SoHo, New York. The building will open on June 3, 2013, after a three-year restoration. Purchased by Donald Judd in 1968, 101 Spring Street became his studio and primary residence, where he formalized his ideas regarding permanent installation, his philosophy that a work of arts placement is critical to one’s understanding of the work itself.
It is also among the founding sites of the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios for the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Constructed in 1870 by Nicholas Whyte, the five-story building is the last surviving, single-use, cast-iron building in its neighborhood, a distinction that has earned 101 Spring Street the highest designation for national significance as part of the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District.
