Christie’s to Sell Judd’s Last Stack (Is It a Record-Setter?)

September 10, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Donal Judd - 12 Nov 2004

Donald Judd’s ineffable stacks are one of the artist’s most effective works. They seem to capture and elevate every idea in the minimalist master’s entire artistic vocabulary. Christie’s, which has a long history with Judd dating back to its aggressive sale of the Judd Foundation’s own works in 2006, believes this stack will set a record because it is the last one the artist made. The estimate is between $7 and $9 million:

Christie’s is pleased to announce the sale of Donald Judd’s Untitled (Bernstein 93-1) as one of the highlights of the fall auction season. The fifteen foot high sculpture will be included in the Evening Sale of Post-War and Contemporary Art on Wednesday, November 12th. In scale, design, radiance, effect and simplicity, Untitled (Bernstein 93-1) is one of the most important works by the artist to be presented on the market and confirms Donald Judd’s position as a master of Minimalist art.Untitled (Bernstein 93-1) was executed a few months before the artist’s death; this magnificent sculpture, one of the artists large scale stack sculptures, has remained in the same collection since its creation in 1993.
