source title Donald Judd Furniture: Retrospective
info In the 1980s, Judd’s work with Swiss fabricators, as well as an active exhibition schedule in Europe, prompted his decision to establish a part-time home in Switzerland. In 1986 he found a former hotel located in the countryside on Lake Lucerne. Judd retained the hotel name, Eichholteren, but otherwise reconceived the property, turning the typical Alpine chalet into a space that closely resembled other buildings he designed. He eliminated most of the internal walls and decorative details in the building, leaving blank expanses of wall and floor sparingly populated by his own furniture and works of art. The artist thus installed his Swiss-made works within a custom-designed environment that reflected his priorities. Here, as in New York and Marfa, living with his art generated ideas for works to follow. Judd did not own Eichholteren, which today is a private residence.
