“Work No. 557” is an abstract artwork created in 2006 by the artist Martin Creed, associated with the Minimalism art movement. The artwork epitomizes the minimalist aesthetic through its simplicity and precision.
The artwork consists of six framed sections, each containing a uniformly dark rectangle, juxtaposed against a stark white background. These components are aligned in a linear configuration, creating a rhythmic repetition that invites contemplation of both the individual and collective aspects of the composition. The uniformity and meticulous arrangement underscore the minimalist focus on form, color, and spatial relationships.
