Untitled 101 Spring Street — Fine Art

Untitled 101 Spring Street - 1962 by Donald Judd shows a set of straight vertical bars set apart on a plain ground. Each bar keeps the same width and the same gap from the next one. The lines run from top to bottom with no variation.

The fine art print sits inside a white frame. That finish gives the picture a clean edge against the bare wall. You see the same spacing in the frame as in the bars.

In a narrow hallway the vertical lines pull the eye along the passage. From the far end the picture reads as a steady rhythm of white and the ground tone. The white frame keeps the same plain look as the wall beside it.
