This collection of interviews engages a diverse range of topics, from philosophy and politics to Judd’s insightful critiques of his own work and the work of others such as Mark di Suvero, Edward Hopper, Yayoi Kusama, Barnett Newman, and Jackson Pollock. The publication also gathers a substantial body of unpublished material across a range of mediums, such as radio and film, including extensive interviews with art historians Lucy R. Lippard and Barbara Rose.
Preceding the book’s November 2019 debut, Barbara Rose was in conversation with Caitlin Murray, coeditor of the book and archivist at Judd Foundation. The two revisited Rose’s dialogues with Judd, exploring the way in which Judd’s contributions in interviews, panels, and extemporaneous conversations are marked by his forthright manner and rigorous thinking, as well as the role of the artist in dialogue with art critics, art historians, and contemporaries.
Caitlin Murray is director of archives and programs and Judd Foundation. She is coeditor of Donald Judd Writings and The Present Order: Writings on the Work of Ian Hamilton Finlay (2011). Murray is co-owner of the Marfa Book Company, a bookstore, publisher, and film, music, and performance space in Marfa, Texas. She is an advisory member of Yale Union.
Barbara Rose is an American art historian, critic, and curator.
