Lucas Samaras’ pin-encrusted cube is a standout in Susan Inglett Gallery’s ‘Specific Objects’ show, an exhibition inspired by a pivotal 1965 Donald Judd essay that came to define minimalism. The piece’s shape is its subject matter, but the pins introduce an element of danger that give it a charge. (In Chelsea through July 26th).
