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.
