Alan Guldimann

Came for the Donald Judd exhibit while visiting NY for frieze and nada. Both the exhibition and space are spectacular, and highly recommended as a visit. My only gripe is that the security team is extremely overbearing. Be careful not the breathe too close to the art. I had taken some shots of Judd’s work in the first gallery on film, however while in the space on the lower level, I was told by security that photos from a camera were strictly forbidden and that I could only take photos on a smartphone. I told them that there’s no flash which is typically the justification, however I was told that it’s a quality concern. Apparently the gallery would prefer the public to use a smartphone rather than a dedicated SLR or DSLR with professional lense setups because the quality is clearly better. They don’t want the photos to turn out badly and then be posted online 🫣
