For an exhibition of a series of furniture by Donald Judd, JGM. galerie, has entrusted Communic’Art with the creation of a 16-pages catalogue including 24 works and an extract of a text by Ghislain Mollet-Viéville published in a book entitled Art Minimal et Conceptuel (Skira).

Donald Judd is one of the key artists of minimalism, an art movement born in the United States in the 1960s.

Conceived as a reaction to the subjectivity of Abstract Expresssionism and to the figuration of Pop Art, minimalism is caracterised, among other things, by a preoccupation to save means.

“Minimalists begin with the idea that the work must focus on its own realité (…): the content of the scultpure and the sculpture itself, without ambiguity. There is no idea camouflaged behind the work, but rather an idea and its materialization which are one!” writes Ghislain Mollet-Viéville.

Starting in 1984, Donald Judd draws furniture produced in a series and in raw materials. Today, still, his Foundation produces this furniture.

The exhibition presented at JGM. Galerie is composed by pieces of furniture ordered for that occasion : chairs, stolls, desks, armchairs, benches.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe.
