""You think of these artists as being cool-toned and sterile-like Judd and Flavin who used bright white fluorescent light-but [McNeil] has chosen examples that are antithetical to that. There's a warmth and there's a welcoming quality to the light that they emanate.""
""The leading lot is an untitled Judd stack sculpture from 1969 in copper and red Plexiglas, a sought-after combination. On a sunny day in Philadelphia, the light streaming into the second-floor family room shifted the surface colour towards pink.""
Christie's will auction a notable collection of Minimalist art in May, featuring works by Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Dan Flavin. This collection, valued at over $30m, was curated by Henry S. McNeil Jr. and displayed in his Philadelphia home. The auction aims to present a more domestic interpretation of Minimalism, contrasting with its typical gallery presentation. A standout piece is a Judd stack sculpture from 1969, estimated to sell for $10m to $15m, potentially breaking the artist's auction record.
