Home Is Where The Art Is
In 1968, artist Donald Judd bought a five-story building in what used to be called Manhattan's Cast Iron District. Almost a decade after his death, Judd's former home and studio is now open to the public to demonstrate how one of the most important artists of the late 20th century thought art and architecture could work together. Donald Judd's daughter, Rainer, says her father's bedroom (pictured) is her favorite space in the house. (101 Spring Street, New York, 5th Floor, 2013.)
