Flavin created minimalist sculptures using commercially available flourescent lights, like the 1977 piece seen here, called (In memory of Sandy Calder)V. Placed side by side, the two primary-colored compositions that comprise it recall the work of Alexander Calder. The bed at the end of the space, Single Bed #32 (Daybed), is one of Judd's furniture designs.

Pieces like untitled (to Bob and Pat Rohm) from 1969 were designed to interact directly with the architecture around them. Placed in the corner, some of the flourescent tubes shine light into the room, while others bounce it off the walls.

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.

On growing up in South Carolina and his first job:

I had job opportunities when I was ten and thirteen...even if it [was] shelling beans. Even when I did that, I noticed that the store was busy. I remember the first phone call I made on a brand new phone we just got. It was back to that store. I said, "May I speak to the owner? I'm Lou. I'm one of the kids outside that helps you. I noticed you're very busy inside the store. Do you need some help? Can I work in the store?" He says, "What's your name again? If you are coming here tomorrow, come in and see me."

Right away, I was working in the store. I remember taking over the vegetable area and the stock was selling out like crazy. He said, "What are you doing? Giving this stuff away?" I said, "No! I'm giving them a good deal, which they think they're getting." It's not the way I sell design services. It's just being at the right place at the right time and getting the opportunity and seizing the moment. I think that that's key.

On moving from mail clerk to draftsman at an architecture firm:

When I arrived here [New York City] in 1966, right out of high school, I started looking for a job in the architectural profession. The first three months, I worked in a supermarket. Every Monday I could go to the employment office to see what jobs were available. I got a job opportunity: "call Elizabeth Hambright at Sherburn Associates." They were looking for a mail room clerk. I said, "Perfect!"

I took that job and within three months I got a tap on my shoulder. "I've [been] told you have a portfolio. Can you bring it in?" So I brought the work in, showed the guy who was the office manager. "These are your drawings?" he said. "Yeah." "You're sure these are your drawings?" he asked. "Of course they're my drawings!" "You did these drawings?!" he asked again. "Yes!" "Where?" he said. "High School". "They were teaching you this in High School?!" he said. "Yeah." "I'm promoting you to a draftsman. You're a draftsman now. Get someone to fill your spot."
