The artwork, titled “Locations,” was created by Richard Artschwager in 1969 and belongs to the Minimalism art movement. It is classified as an installation piece, reflecting the artist’s distinct approach to form and space.
The artwork features a combination of objects mounted on a gallery wall, exemplifying the minimalist aesthetic through its clean lines, simple shapes, and restrained color palette. In the central part of the composition, a rectangular structure with a blue marbled pattern and an overlying circular form made of fibrous material serves as a focal point. Flanking this central piece on either side, are three elongated, rounded-rectangle shapes, each crafted from different materials—black reflective surfaces and mirrors—imparting a sense of variation and balance to the overall installation. Two of them appear to be suspended, introducing a subtle dynamic element to the composition. This minimalist arrangement invites viewers to contemplate the relationships between the forms, materials, and spatial configuration.
