Donald Judd (1928‑94) was an American artist who played a key role in defining Minimalism in the 1960s.
The work is one of the four reliefs and five structures that were featured in the artist and critic’s groundbreaking solo exhibition at the Green Gallery in New York City in December 1963. It consists of curving aluminium bands coated in black enamel that frame a square of galvanised steel on the top and bottom, creating a half-pipe-like form. Projecting from the wall, the work rejects the illusionnistic space of painting and engages the viewers in actual space.
