JUDD FOUNDATION TO RESTORE 101 SPRING STREET

The Judd Foundation has announced plans to restore Donald Judd’s former home and studio at 101 Spring Street in New York City. The five-story cast-iron building is one of the artist’s sixteen private living and working spaces that are maintained and preserved by the foundation in New York and Texas. The foundation received the unanimous support of the Landmarks Community Board 2 and the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission for this project. Over the next three years, the foundation will implement restoration plans, and once these are complete, the building will open to the public with a full schedule of public programming. According to executive director Barbara Hunt McLanahan, “This show of support from both our neighbors and preservation professionals is a major endorsement and gives us great hope that we will be able to move forward with our plans for the restoration of the building.”
