You see a sheet of bright green paper with two straight black lines drawn in felt-tip pen. Judd made this in 1971, when he was moving from painting to sculpture. The lines look simple, but they’re placed just so—no emotion, no story, just shape and space. The green paper isn’t background; it’s part of the work. If you like how this feels, look up more at The Museum of Modern Art.
