Seems as though the Christie's auction for the Judd Foundation has stirred interest for sellers of smaller Judd works. At the time of writing, the online auction giant eBay has six original Donald Judd works up on the block. From the untitled aquatint etchings (you know, the vertically striped parallelagrams shown here (

4) to enameled aluminum stools (
5,
6). It has been common for there to be one or two original Judds up on eBay at any given time, but 6 is new territory. It looks like the Christie's auction has had a positive effect on the values of the lots as well. Just a year or two ago, the aquatints were selling for $700 and now the starting price is up to $1500.

I was just reviewing those 6 auctions. It appears the Judd boom is underway. 4 of the 6 auctions were bid upon. The stools which were auctioned live and won by "floor bidders" (rather than ebay bidders) fetched $15,000 and $13,000 each. (Yellow garnering more than red interestingly...) And an aquatint sold for $1,600 and one of the lithographs sold for $1500.
