Quarto in dustwrapper. 320 pp. Text in English and French by Roberta Smith and others. The first and only true catalogue raisonne of Judd's early paintings and other objects. Illustrated in black and white. This large tome was published to coincide with the 1975 exhibition of Judd's work at the National Gallery of Canada. Addenda / Errata sheet laid in. A truly superb fine copy in red printed boards. Clean and still tightly bound. In the scarce dustwrapper which shows minor wear to corners and some seemingly unavoidable toning to the spine color. Please see photos at our website. An excellent example of this catalogue which seldom appears in collectible condition and in the significantly less common hardbound edition.
