101 Spring Street

当谈及美学时，我们坚定遵循“少即是多”的原则，因此唐纳德·贾德[1928-1994]位列我们最喜爱的当代艺术家之列并不令人意外。他的极简主义（一个他始终拒绝的术语）超前于时代，甚至富有启发性，至今仍具有现实意义。1968年，贾德仅以68,000美元购得苏豪区一栋五层建筑。

该建筑位于斯普林街101号，后来成为他的工作室和主要住所。它由建筑师尼古拉斯·怀特于1870年设计和建造，是该地区现存最后一座单一用途的铸铁建筑。正是在这里，贾德正式确立了他关于永久装置的理念，即艺术品的放置位置对理解作品本身至关重要。

建筑的开放空间和内部无隔墙为贾德及其欣赏的其他艺术家的作品提供了理想的放置环境。目前，该建筑由贾德基金会管理。经过三年修复，在保留建筑真实性的同时融入了现代技术，将于6月18日（周二）向公众开放。

参观者将体验艺术家原本布置的家和工作室，并参观所有楼层，包括工作室、厨房和他五楼的卧室。该空间内有一件丹·弗莱文1970年创作的荧光灯装置，贯穿整个阁楼空间。值得一提的是，贾德在每层楼都陈列了他收藏的500多件物品中的精品，包括让·阿尔普、弗兰克·斯特拉、阿尔瓦·阿尔托、赫里特·里特维尔德和库尔特·施维特斯的作品。

When it comes to aesthetics we firmly adhere to the less is more principle, and it shouldn’t surprise you that Donald Judd [1928-1994] ranks in our shortlist of fav contemporary artists. His sense of minimalism – a term he’d always rejected – was ahead of its time, enlightening even, and has remained relevant to this day. In 1968 Judd bought a five-storey building in Soho for a mere USD 68,000.

Situated at 101 Spring Street, this would become his studio and primary residence. Tt was built and designed in 1870 by architect Nicholas Whyte and is the last surviving, single-use, cast-iron building in the area. 101 Spring Street is where Judd formalized his ideas regarding permanent installation, his philosophy that a work of art’s placement is critical to one’s understanding of the work itself.

The building’s open space and lack of internal walls provided the ideal environment for the placement of Judd’s works and those of other artists that he admired. It’s currently managed by the Judd Foundation . After a three-year restoration, which has gone to great lengths to implement modern technology while retaining the building’s authenticity, it will opens to the public on tue – Jun 18.

Visitors will experience the artist’s home and studio, as originally installed by the Judd, and will be guided through all floors of the home, including the studio, kitchen, and his fifth-floor bedroom. This space features a fabulous wall-to-wall 1970 fluorescent light piece by artist Dan Flavin that extends the length of the loft space. Mind you, Judd installed each floor with pieces from his stellar collection of over 500 objects, including artworks by Jean Arp, Frank Stella, Alvar Aalto, Gerrit Rietveld and Kurt Schwitters.
