NYC vs. Marfa: Judd Logos
No single person has left as indelible a mark on Marfa as Donald Judd. The Judd logo (see above) is plastered all over downtown. Take a stroll along Highland Avenue, Marfa’s main drag, and you’ll spot the brilliant red, sans-serif letters of the Judd Foundation logo on at least four storefronts.

Stop inside the Hotel Paisano gift shop, and you can pick up a screen-printed Judd shirt or tote.

You can imagine my surprise when I traveled to 101 Spring Street to volunteer for the de-installation and saw this:

In New York, the Judd logo is lost amidst the hustle and bustle of the SoHo retail district.
