Don Judd- Specific Objects

In 1965, sculptor and art critic Donald Judd coined the term "specific objects" to describe artwork that challenged the traditional categories of painting and sculpture by exploring the ideas of structure, seriality, and material.

Here is a link to the essay Specific Objects,(1965)

During the first half of the 1980s, Judd drew the plans for the Chinati Foundation, Marfa; the renovated compound of buildings opened in 1986 as a showcase for his sculptures, as well as for the work of other contemporary artists.
