• Next to his sculptural creations, Judd's woodcuts are considered a fully independent and fascinating expression of his very own idea of form, symmetry and colors.
• Owing to the color's unusual materiality, to which Judd often adds sand and wax, the work has a special painterly effect and an appealing surface texture.
• To date only one copy of this woodcut was offered on the international auction market (source: artprice)
