Position On The Art Market
Prices for Judd's works first peaked in 2002, when a group of six Plexiglas boxes sold for $4.2 million. The largest of Judd's stacks, comprising 10 galvanised iron elements with ten-inch intervals, Untitled, 1977 (77-41 BERNSTEIN) (1977), fetched $9,8 million at Christie's in 2007. Judd's ten-unit sculpture Untitled, 1968 (DSS 120) made of stainless steel and amber Plexiglas was sold for $4.9 million at Christie's New York in 2009.
The Leo Castelli Gallery, New York, represented the artist from 1965 to 1985. Judd then worked with Paula Cooper Gallery, New York, where he had a number of solo shows, and PaceWildenstein, which represented him through the end of his life. Judd's work has been represented - through the Judd Foundation - by David Zwirner since 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words position, art and/or market:
“Einstein is loved because he is gentle, respected because he is wise. Relativity being not for most of us, we elevate its author to a position somewhere between Edison, who gave us a tangible gleam, and God, who gave us the difficult dark and the hope of penetrating it.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“Blest with each talent, and each art to please,
And born to write, converse, and live with ease”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand—a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods—or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
