The Chinati Foundation was founded by Donald Judd as a unique art museum where large-scale works of art, or large groups of art, are installed on a permanent basis according to each artist’s specifications. It was Judd’s goal at Chinati to bring art, architecture, and nature together in order to form a coherent whole. The mission is to preserve Judd’s vision by conserving and making available to the public the art works, buildings, and surrounding landscape at the museum, while maintaining the supporting and educational programs Judd initiated. Judd created Chinati as a situation for his own work as well as that of other artists, and the museum is honored to have more than 50 distinguished artists donating work to support the museum’s Endowment Fund. The benefit sale is one component of Chinati’s campaign to match the requirements of a $5 million challenge grant it received in 2005. The grant will be administered by Dia Art Foundation, the original patron of Judd’s projects at Chinati, and funded by long-term museum supporters Lannan Foundation and Leonard Riggio, Dia’s Chairman, and his family. The grant’s aim is to create the organization’s first substantial endowment, one that will ensure the vitality of Chinati’s programs and activities for years to come.
A full-color catalog of the art works to be auctioned will be available in advance of the sale, and the works will be viewable at http://www.phillipsdepury.com/. During the auction, absentee bidding by telephone will be accepted. Work will be on view at Phillips de Pury from March 4 through March 12.
