Things That Happen Again: For a This and a That, 1986

Collection Judd Foundation

This work in solid copper was installed at the Chinati Foundation by Donald Judd and Roni Horn in 1989. It is on long-term loan from the Judd Foundation. The work consists of two identical truncated cones that are 35 inches long, tapering from a diameter of 17 inches to 12 inches. The pair is part of a 1988 suite consisting of four sets of paired, solid copper forms, each hand-lathed to duplicate mechanical identity. The entire suite is titled Things That Happen Again, and also includes Piece for Two Rooms, For a Here and a There, and For Things that are Near.
