Donald Judd's “Specific Objects” is an essay he published in 1965 and the artistic concept proposed in it. It refers to clearly defined three-dimensional objects that directly engage particular materials and spaces, belonging to neither conventional “painting” nor “sculpture.” Main characteristics of Specific Objects: Escape from categories: Completely rejecting traditional notions of painting (canvas and frame) and sculpture (figurative or abstract objects placed on pedestals). Introduction of industrial materials: Employing industrial and ready-made materials such as aluminum, iron (Cor-Ten steel), Plexiglas, and plywood. Geometric composition: Using simple geometric forms such as boxes and pipes, excluding the artist's emotions and brushwork (matière). Engagement with space: Emphasizing the work's presence by integrating it with its location (walls, floors, etc.) rather than treating it as a standalone work. Significance and influence: This concept became a theoretical pillar of the minimalism (minimal art) emerging in America. Judd presented artworks as autonomous “real objects” in themselves, rather than things that produce “illusions (deceptions or fictions).”

ドナルド・ジャッドの「スペシフィック・オブジェクト(Specific Objects)」とは、1965年に彼自身が発表した論文およびそこで提唱された美術概念です。従来の「絵画」でも「彫刻」でもない、特定の素材や空間と直接対峙する、明確な立体物を指します。スペシフィック・オブジェクトの主な特徴カテゴリーの脱却: 伝統的な絵画(カンバスと額縁)や彫刻(台座の上に置かれる具象・抽象物)の概念を完全に否定。産業素材の導入: アルミニウム、鉄(コルテン鋼)、プレクシグラス、合板など、工業用・既製品の素材を採用。幾何学的な構成: 箱やパイプなどの単純な幾何学形態を用い、作家の感情や筆致(マチエール)を排除。空間との関わり: 作品単体ではなく、置かれる場所(壁や床など)と一体となることで、作品の存在感(プレゼンス)を強調。意義と影響この概念は、アメリカで台頭したミニマリズム(ミニマル・アート)の理論的支柱となりました。ジャッドは、芸術作品を「イリュージョン(錯覚や虚構)」を生み出すものから、それ自体が自律した一つの「現実の物体」として提示しました。
