Don Judd is the new Henry Moore. Everyone seems to think highly of the late Don Judd's sculpture. Like Henry Moore the general opinion rates Judd as best of his age, though some folks like myself feel his sculpture functions more like formalist abstract geometric painting than like a sculpture. As Henry Moore's sculptures seem to have a function like illustrations for noble feelings ie. grief , rage etc. But I like the Judd's art better though it seems a form of sculpture which arises from painting and especially his color. And it's the transparency of the color in Judd which brings to mind the holes in giant Henry Moore sculptures, those holes through which you see where you are, A perception not that different from looking through the transparent blue or pink plexiglas and seeing another face looking at you. Location is who you are with, with Judd it's the post-modern era of art about other art. With Moore it's just mush, just bumpy abstract distortions based on humans form. But really is it canon beyond question the question of Henry Moore is he the super cheese the savior of meaning and content in sculpture or as I humbly assert that Henry Moore is a failed project, a path perhaps art had better not take, I say - HENRY MOORE NO MORE - ! Nihilism's foremost illustrator, the futilty of all human efforts in the face of terror and violence. Order must vacant the 3-D Arts by closing.
The Anti-Sculpture League feels that the current uptick in performance art and installation art speaks badly for free standing sculptures and statues. Perhaps the gentle day arrives when things can be things again and not hot commodities (like say those dead sharks in vitrines by Mr Damien Hirst some years ago in London) which seems to be in a fade lately though who knows for sure? The Anti-Sculpture League is not as intense as it was years back, but people notice the clutter in museums is mostly sculpture. Our idea to hide sculpture in the woods where nature can recycle this art back into just stuff. Just crap in the woods. I first wrote about the Hidden Sculpture Parks back in 1999 when I was at my most angry time regards sculpture. But I'm older now and I realize how much we all enjoy our own junk. Hell I love Brancusci boy it's so streamlined, but Henry Moore's sculptures are bumpy and lumpy like oatmeal. Anyway my new effort is to have public sculptures required to haave long term disposal solution in hand to proper Artpolice Authorities maybe a central sculptural recycling center. Make it into bicycles and wheelchairs and dog houses. Stop sculpture before it falls on you or one of your neighbors. The Anti-Sculpture League is a division of Artpolice Journals which is part of the Man Bag nonsense. Remember only you can stop silly sculptures!
