Part of the appeal of Judd's manufactured, modular aesthetic is that nothing mass produced could ever attain this level of finish. The works do not contain technical flaws or happy accidents. His objects are far too meticulously unemotional not to evoke emotion. It's the mission statement of minimalism. The viewer is pressed with order, precision, color theory and math to project meaning. Two signature columns of boxes, one copper and clear plexi, one galvanized steel and red plexi are without gesture, but not without a hard fought expressionism. They are so physically exquisite as to belie their purported neutrality.
