About this Quote

This quote by Donald Judd speaks with the concept that the procedure of producing a piece of art is not as vital as the end product. He is recommending that the job that enters into developing an art piece is not one of the most essential thing, but instead the item itself. The job is merely a way to an end, and also the end result is what matters. This suggestion is particularly relevant in the modern-day art world, where the focus is typically on the finished product as opposed to the process of developing it. Judd's quote urges musicians to focus on completion outcome, and also to not obtain as well captured up in the work that enters into producing it. He is recommending that the job is simply a method to an end, and that completion result is what matters. Ultimately, the item is the most important point, and the work is merely a means to an end.
