About Glacier

The artwork titled “Glacier” is a creation by John McCracken from the year 1988. It belongs to the Light and Space art movement and is categorized under the genre of installation art.

The artwork features a minimalist, monolithic vertical structure with a highly polished, reflective surface. The rectangular form, sleek and seamless, extends upward from the wooden floor, presenting a striking contrast against the plain, light-colored walls of the setting. The polished finish of the piece allows it to interact with the surrounding light and space, casting distinct shadows and reflections that alter with the viewer’s perspective and the ambient lighting conditions. This interplay creates an immersive visual experience, characteristic of the Light and Space movement, drawing attention to the relationship between the artwork, its environment, and the observer.
