Because who doesn't wonder what Donald Judd read (or didn't read), the Judd Foundation has launched a cool online toy: An accounting of the 13,004 books in Donald Judd's Marfa library (10,718 of them unique with the rest being duplicates). A Judd Foundation press release says that the project took 3,500 hours to complete. (The library is part of 'The Block' in downtown Marfa.)
3500 hours? Wish I was billing for that project. What the hell took so long? That's 3.7 books an hour. Did they hire someone who can't type?
those include intern hours that dont really count.
I don't wonder what Judd read.
...or didnt read.
Well, ahem, cataloging a library is more than typing up a list.
