Are you talking about the Donald Judd Daybed Sold for $65,000? I’m into the bed.

You did better than I did. And the bed? What’s with the bed?
I feel a little bad about it because I sort of like Donald Judd. I’ve always thought those spaced stacks are really beautiful.

75%, not knowing anything. missed the bed too, as well as the first two. seems easy now though, just look at the pictures which look nice and have backgrounds

I got 100%, and don’t know anything about him. The settings make it too easy– Some are obviously shot in art galleries. And no one taking pictures of furniture puts two of the exact same thing next to each other. Nor do they take pictures straight on– Furniture is usually shot at an angle, I think to make it look bigger.

100%. I love the bed.
I’d never heard of him before.

Yeah the photo backgrounds are a huge problem. All the pieces that are just the object on a white background are clearly catalog pics and all of them are cheap furniture.
Would be interesting to see this quiz with those kinds of goofs removed.

i don’t really think the validity/accuracy/whtvr of the quiz means anything as to why this is funny

maybe, but i didn’t feel any need to actually take the quiz
maybe it’s because i know who donald judd is and have even been to his foundation in marfa, texas, twice (there’s a lot of other, better ((more interesting)), stuff there)

Yeah, they sorta cherry-picked the pieces. I’m kind of happy so many people are doing well.
So, yeah. I think the quiz is a cheap shot.

Cheap shot but fun. Thanks, Matthew. Two things: 1–the way this quiz collapses time is also dumb. Of course cheapo furniture can bite Donald Judd’s style NOW, after it’s been fifty years or so of art history giving them the guts to do it. 2–Judging an artist by his worst or most questionable stuff is dubious. Fun and flattering but dubious.

Me too.
Trick is: look at the background. White gallery walls.
But they failed to cherry pick the cheap furniture very well. You could definitly find stuff that looked weirder, more Judd-like in an ikea catalog if you tried.

Yeah, I only missed one (the bed!) – in addition to the backgrounds, another clue is visible screws and seams in the construction of the furniture.

Yeah, I’m being a snob, but I think this is most effective at pointing out that most of the people who trash talk minimalist (or any kind of) art just haven’t bothered to figure it out. I’m not a Judd fan by any stretch, but it seemed pretty easy to make the basic art/trash distinction of the designs.
That one bed had me for a minute, but check out all of those knotty, whirlly spots on it. No way Ikea, etc. would use materials like that.

Can furniture really be ‘art’? Art (music, literature, painting, etc ) seems to exist simply to be art: to effect, move in some way. Furniture is utilitarian by definition (a chair exists to be sat upon). While a utilitarian object may be beautiful, I wonder if you can really be art. Tell me why I’m wrong. Please. Educate me.

“design” sections of contemporary art museums often remove objects from their context, fetishize them, and many of the objects they fetishize are more aesthetically attractive or intriguing than they are functional (ie the Eames chair), which I think makes them more successful as art than design.
