>'to the point the home is not liveable'

Putting Judd furniture in a home hardly makes it unliveable, it's narrow minded of you to suggest it.

>'Pushing art into home furnishings, ..., is missing the point of art to a massive degree.'

Here are a few galleries (and a couple of articles) that would beg to differ:

No, narrow-hipped perhaps. Just look at those awful, awful chairs. Nothing whatsoever that admits a human being will sit in them. No, its hunky-dory goofy thinking that leads to 'it looks like a chair, so it must be a chair'. Only an artist could think that.

Sure furniture could be pretty. But it has to, at root, function for humans.

I'm happy for you, that you are so secure in your world view. Personally I try to challenge mine as often as possible, and avoid dismissing things before I understand them. I hoped that you might find a quick introduction to a booming movement in design and art interesting, I'm sorry I wasted your time!

Nicely patronizing!

With all that superior learning about what's true furniture and what's not, I look forward to seeing you attending a staff meeting in a plywood box chair. I'm sure the joy of its beauty will still be with you as you go to the chiropractor for weekly treatments.

Thank you, I was quite happy with it myself!

Listen, don't feel sad about still missing the point with Judd after 5 days, it's not that embarrassing. I almost feel the need to help you understand it. You can bring a horse to water I suppose...

Maybe you should consider some Superior Learning TM, and stop having fantasies about staff meetings or whatever.

(in all seriousness, it's been fun sparring with you)
