Court documents in Ralenkotter's and Judd's cases show that fraud was well-known among sales staff and that Pilot's national account sales director taught employees how to defraud trucking companies out of rebate money without getting caught.
It was a term Judd did not use and did not like "I don't think anyone's work is reductive, " he once said yet it was a convenient catchall for his varied oeuvre and for that of his colleagues, artists like Frank Stella, Carl Andre and Dan Flavin (Judd's longtime friend), whose work Judd displayed prominently at 101 Spring.
But cynicism remains and it does seem odd that the best man at Lopez's wedding was not a long-time friend of Judd's, but rather the superstar's manager.
