info Judd applied the principle of different colours and geometric patterns to the parquet floor in the Palace. The parquet covers two storeys of the building as can be seen in the sketches made in January and March 1992. It was not designed for a single room. He had strips laid over the entire storey at the quarter, third and halfway mark, both lengthwise and crosswise. Each strip is a different width and colour. This arrangement is also clear in the sketches. He used five types of wood for this: ash, angelique, kambala, wengé and merbau. In the rooms housing the Escher exhibition the geometric pattern seems to compartmentalise the space. At the same time it appears logical the parquet fits naturally into the old century rooms, merging into the space.
