Donald Clarence Judd (1926 - 1994) was born in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. He showed an aptitude for art from an early age. After returning from Army duty in Korea, Judd went to New York where he earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Columbia and studied painting at the Art Students League. Later he returned to Columbia for graduate work in art history. In the late 1950s and early '60s, Judd wrote reviews in Arts magazine, rigorously advocating "new art."

A New York Times reviewer wrote, "By the late '60s, his sleek cubic and rectilinear works helped redefine the direction of postwar sculpture, eliminating pedestals and stressing open, somewhat weightless volumes characterized by lush metals and translucent or opaque plexiglass. His art insisted that explorations of space, scale and materials could be ends in themselves."
