Absolutely Ridiculous Judd Tortilla Auction
So absolutely ridiculous that I could not let it go without a mention. That's right, it appears that the image of Donald Judd in the form of mold has been sighted on a tortilla purchased at the Pueblo Market in town.... or so they'd have you believe. I've gotta think it truly is mold, because a trained monkey could execute a better Judd portrait than this. Looks more like a cross between Bjorn Borg and sasquatch. In the seller's own words, if it is not Judd then it may be Jesus.
"Unbelievable apparition of Donald Judd or possibly Jesus on a Marfa Tortilla. Tortilla with no image was originally purchased at Pueblo Market in Marfa Texas not more than a holy hiccup away from the sacred ground where Donald Judd actually slept." link
And to top it off, someone is actually bidding on it! Better hurry, only 4 and half days left...

And a monkey can also build aluminum boxes and with the help of locals put them in a cattle pasture...
granted a monkey could be trained to build aluminum boxes, but not judd himself, and not with the precision by which his were rendered--the aluminum boxes were created for him by the lippincott foundry. and, the aluminum works are housed in the artillery sheds; the concrete boxes are the ones outside in the pasture. why should it surprise anyone in marfa that judd would reappear in the form of mold on a tortilla? i think it is brilliant of whoever found it to recognize it as him rather than the obvious, jesus. i figure if it isn't judd or jesus then it must be willie nelson. either way, it is going to look awesome hanging in my house.
And the monkeys would probably have no problem with concrete - - - ? ? trained monkeys, of course.
