The artwork, titled “For Pearl” and created by Brice Marden in 1970, employs oil as its medium and measures 244 by 250 centimeters. This piece figures within the Color Field Painting and Minimalism movements, and it is categorized under the abstract genre.
The artwork is a study in simplicity and color harmony, consisting of three vertical panels that collectively form a cohesive whole. The left panel is painted in a subtle gray, the center in a rich, earthy red, and the right in a warm, golden yellow. Each panel is uniform in color, with no apparent texture or brushstrokes visible, underscoring the minimalist approach. The three panels are juxtaposed directly against each other, creating a balanced yet stark geometric composition. The overall effect is one of contemplative calm, evoking a meditative response that is characteristic of both Color Field Painting and Minimalism.
