Flavin created minimalist sculptures using commercially available flourescent lights, like the 1977 piece seen here, called (In memory of Sandy Calder)V.

While access to 101 Spring's upper floors requires advance reservations, the first floor exhibitions will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Future exhibitions will continue to combine art, books, and Judd Furniture. "Art and architecture—all the arts—do not have to exist in isolation, as they do now," said Judd in 1986. "This fault is very much a key to the present society. Architecture is nearly gone, but it, art, all the arts, in fact all parts of society, have to be rejoined, and joined more than they have ever been."

In the 1960s, artist Donald Judd—best known for the minimalist sculptures he referred to as "specific objects"—was one of the pioneers in transforming SoHo from overlooked industrial area to the center of the art world. Before his death in 1994, he planned for his home and studio, a five-story cast-iron building at 101 Spring Street, to be a permanent installation featuring more than 1,000 works of art, furniture pieces, and decorative and ceremonial objects. After a detailed restoration, 101 Spring opened to the public in 2013.

"I thought the building should be repaired and basically not changed," Judd said in 1989. "The given circumstances were very simple: the floors must be open; the right angle of windows on each floor must not be interrupted; and any changes must be compatible." While most of the building remains almost exactly as the artist left it, the Judd Foundation is now introducing special exhibitions on the first floor of 101 Spring. The first is Make art, not pipelines: Get in on the Ground Floor, which features two works by artist Dan Flavin and runs through September 19, 2015.
