“Rainbow Pickett” is an artwork created by the artist Judy Chicago in 1965. This piece is composed of plywood and is categorized under the Minimalism art movement. The artwork is an installation, showcasing its spatial and environmental interaction with the gallery space.
The artwork consists of six elongated and rectangular prism-like forms, each painted in a distinct color. These forms are positioned diagonally, seemingly leaning against the wall, and arranged in a descending size order from left to right. The vibrant colors transition seamlessly from light to dark, creating a visual rhythm and harmony. The careful arrangement and color choice reflect the minimalist aesthetic, emphasizing simplicity, geometric shapes, and the relationship between the objects and their surrounding space. The hardwood floor of the gallery enhances the vibrancy and solidity of the installation, juxtaposing natural wood tones with the artificial, painted surfaces.
