October 1 – December 17, 2016
Public hours: Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays 1:00-5:30pm

Judd Foundation is pleased to present Richard Long, two large-scale terracotta works by the artist on the ground floor of 101 Spring street in New York. The installation will open to the public on Saturday, October 1, 2016. Donald Judd had great admiration for Long’s radical work which, much like his own work, defies traditional conventions of form and medium. In 1988, after an exhibition in Reykjavik, Iceland, Judd acquired and permanently installed Long’s work, Sea Lava Circles, at The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas.

Located on a concrete platform that was previously used as a tennis court, Sea Lava Circles is made from volcanic rock collected by Long while in Iceland. For the installation at 101 Spring Street, Long will use a terracotta slip to make large-scale works on the two east walls that extend the length of the building, measuring nearly 60 feet. Though Judd historically used the ground floor of 101 Spring Street for the temporary exhibition of his work and others, Long’s work has never before been exhibited in the space. Curated by Flavin Judd, the installation is part of a series that aims to highlight and contextualize the interrelated aspects of Judd’s work and that of his contemporaries. Judd Furniture, writings from the Donald Judd Archives, and selections from the Donald Judd Library in Marfa, Texas will accompany the installation, open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 1:00pm to 5:30pm through December 17, 2016. Public programming will be included throughout the duration of the exhibition, and announced at a later date.
