Artists For Chinati: Auction Lots Viewable
The works donated by artists for the benefit auction for the Chinati Foundation are now online at Phillips de Pury & Company's website. Marianne Stockebrand (Chinati Director) has written an introduction for the auction. Here's and excerpt.
Although Judd was skeptical of movements and absolutely saw the contributions of artists as specific individual accomplishments, he never considered himself isolated from his historical context. He valued the exchange with other artists and was very aware of how much he owed the generation that preceded him – Pollock, Newman, and Rothko. Therefore it was only natural for him to present works in Marfa by those artists with whom he felt a connection. Over the years, Chinati’s permanent collection grew to also include an outdoor work by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, a mixed media-installation by Ilya Kabakov, a room with drawings and paintings by Icelandic artist Ingólfur Arnarsson, sculptures by David Rabinowitch, and poems by Carl Andre. Judd also placed works by Roni Horn and Richard Long from his own collection. Based on his plans, but after his death, a gallery for the work of John Wesley was realized. He also extended his hospitality to a younger generation of artists and invited a number of them for residencies in Marfa—an effort that initiated the now well-established artist-in-residency program.
There are 62 pieces including work by Ken Price, John Wesley, Jeff Elrod, Tony Feher, Susie Rossmarin, John Chamberlain, as well as 3 pieces by Donald Judd including this nice wood cut series (in cadmium red light, ... oh so nice) .
