Tom Judd’s photographs occur as a collection of discoveries of lost places. These are portraits of vacant structures, street scenes, and locations that seem familiar yet strangely out of place.

Making such photos is a fundamental component of Judd’s art. These images are completed works, unique or collected, or as elements in his paintings, collages or installations. Though unmanipulated these photos singularly encountered may suggest “found art.” This collection clearly locates Judd’s camera as an instrument of his artistic vision, no less than his brushes and pigments.
