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 art's placement is critical to one's understanding of the work itself. The building's open space and lack of internal walls provided the ideal environment for the placement of the artist's works and those of other artists he admired.Guided visits of 101 Spring Street will commence on June 18. Tickets can be purchased now through an online booking system.
Guided visits for the general public will be available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Custom visits for groups or individuals can be organized directly through Judd Foundation.
Visitors to 101 Spring Street will experience Donald Judd's home and studio, as originally installed by the artist, and will be guided through all floors of the home, including Judd's studio, kitchen, and his fifth-floor bedroom, which is installed with a wall-to-wall 1970 Dan Flavin fluorescent light work, extending the length of the loft space.
Donald Judd installed each floor with pieces from his collection of over 500 objects, including artworks by Jean Arp, Carl Andre, Larry Bell, John Chamberlain, Stuart Davis, Marcel Duchamp, Dan Flavin, David Novros, Claes Oldenburg, Ad Reinhardt, Lucas Samaras, Kurt Schwitters, and Frank Stella, and furniture by Alvar Aalto, Michael Thonet, and Gerrit Rietveld, among others.
