SPEAKER:
Museum Educator

Consider Donald Judd’s concept of the "specific object," focusing on Untitled from 1966 and contrasting Judd’s use of geometry and repetition with the free-form abstract compositions of Helen Frankenthaler and Richard Diebenkorn. Consider the viewer’s relationship to the work of art, and discuss the role of the sublime in abstract art.
