Nothing more minimal than white wall space

Every big museum has its share of unimportant Picassos. Similarly, many modern houses have simple, sleek floating towers by the minimalist artist Mr. Donald Judd. I’d seen them before in Minneapolis, New York, and Paris.

But never have I had such an interesting impression of Judd as on a recent trip to the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea. On the wall in a familiar pattern, ten strips of plastered metal where a protrusions once sprung.

I ran my fingers over the empty art space and grinned at the words: Donald Judd, removed for restoration.
