The artwork titled “Mineral,” created by John McCracken in 2004, belongs to the Light and Space art movement and is categorized as a sculpture.
The artwork is a minimalist, monolithic structure characterized by its sleek, high-gloss finish. It is a large, rectangular column with clean, sharp edges and a smooth surface, rendered in a rich, vibrant red. The sculpture exudes a sense of simplicity and precision, inviting observers to reflect on the interplay between light, space, and material. Its reflective surface enhances this interaction, creating subtle variations in the perception of color and form as one views it from different angles. This combination of form and finish is emblematic of McCracken’s exploration of the physical and perceptual aspects of sculpture within the Light and Space movement.
