Judd Foundation

The Judd Foundation preserves and promotes the work and legacy of Donald Judd, one of the defining artists of the 20th century. Its SoHo home at 101 Spring Street is a landmark of minimalist architecture and design. Acquired by Judd in 1968, the five-story cast-iron building was the first in the neighborhood to be transformed into a live-work space for artists.

Today, 101 Spring Street remains a meticulously preserved expression of Judd’s vision, offering insight into his philosophy of permanent installation and the relationship between art, architecture, and design. Through guided visits, scholarly research, and conservation, the foundation continues to advance his enduring influence on contemporary art and design.

The works on view remain exactly as Judd installed them, making 101 Spring Street the defining example of his concept of permanent installation. In his 1989 essay, 101 Spring Street, he wrote, “I spent a great deal of time placing the art and a great deal designing the renovation in accordance. Everything from the first was intended to be thoroughly considered and to be permanent.”
