“Work No. 373,” created by Martin Creed in 2004, is a minimalist abstract artwork. Displayed as part of the Minimalism art movement, the piece consists of multiple small, colored panels arranged evenly on a white wall. Each panel features a different solid color, presenting a stark yet harmonious visual experience.
The artwork comprises an arrangement of ten rectangular panels, each of a different hue. The colors range from black and primary shades, such as red, blue, and yellow, to softer tones like pink and green. The simplicity of the color blocks, combined with their uniform size and spacing, creates a balanced and rhythmic visual presentation. The minimalist nature of this composition emphasizes the aesthetic and emotional impact of pure color and form, encouraging viewers to contemplate the essence and interaction of the hues. The clean, uncluttered environment surrounding the artwork further enhances its focus and clarity.
