NEWSgrist - where spin is art: Donald Judd Foundation to Auction 35 Works

In an effort to create a $20 million endowment for the support of its
permanent installations in New York and Texas, the Donald Judd
Foundation has decided to sell about 35 Judd sculptures at Christie's
in New York on May 9.

"Between New York and Marfa, we have 16 permanently installed
buildings," said Barbara Hunt McLanahan, director of the 10-year-old
foundation, formed after the 1994 death of Mr. Judd to preserve his
living and working spaces in New York and Marfa, Tex. "This was not a
decision taken lightly. We considered all our options, and this is the
best option."
