ABSTRACT
The burgeoning environmental movement began to generate further support when in 1958, a group of leading British writers, musicians, artists, and others formed the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, including the composer Benjamin Britten, the sculptor Henry Moore, and the novelist Doris Lessing. The following year 50,000 marched, launching a trend towards popular, organized protest that subsequently became a common feature of the political landscape. Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, which postulated that the human race was subjecting itself to slow poisoning by the misuse of chemical pesticides, was serialized in The New York Times in June 1962, and became a sensation by the time it was published in book form that September. Judd turned two abandoned first World War airplane hangars and a two-story wooden house into bedrooms, a studio, a library, kitchen facilities, and installation spaces for showing his work.
