Dining Table

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Dining Table by artist Donald Judd is a long, rectangular table with a flat surface and straight edges. The surface appears to be made of concrete or a similar material and has slightly darker discoloration throughout. The tabletop is a uniform grey color with a smooth finish. The table has four legs, one at each corner, that are thin and tapered, with a slight curve outward at the bottom. The legs are made of metal, possibly steel, and have a simple, minimalist design. The table is set against a plain white background, with a subtle shadow visible underneath. The overall design of the table is minimalist and industrial.
