“Golden Center in the Ladder” is an abstract artwork created by Alice Baber in 1970. It belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a vivid and dynamic composition utilizing a myriad of luminous, flowing forms and bright, effervescent colors. At the heart of the piece, a cluster of soft, warm hues, particularly yellow and orange, is encircled by layers of cooler tones, such as greens, blues, and purples. These shapes seamlessly blend into one another, creating a sense of depth and motion, and embodying a dreamlike, organic quality. The interplay of the colors and forms evokes a feeling of harmonious balance and natural fluidity, making the central golden area strikingly prominent in the overall composition.
