11-R. The thirteenth of fifteen woodcuts comprising The Parallelogram Suite is a 1965 by Donald Judd, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print is part of a series called The Parallelogram Suite. Judd was a sculptor who also made prints, and he liked to explore simple geometric forms. He made around 300 editions of prints during his lifetime, which is a notable part of his work. You can learn more about his printmaking techniques, such as impasto, at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Each print in the suite presents a twelve-groove parallelogram whose upper and lower edges slope either to the left or right, with this example rendered in red. The variations follow a systematic left-right pattern indicated by the L or R captioning.
