Rainbow Pickett 1965

Judy Chicago's "Rainbow Pickett" (1965) is a striking minimalist sculpture composed of seven brightly colored, wooden planks, arranged in a triangular formation. The work, with its simple, geometric forms and bold hues, exemplifies the tenets of minimalism, an art movement that emerged in the 1960s. The artwork's abstract qualities challenge traditional notions of representation and focus on pure form and color, inviting viewers to engage with the visual elements themselves. Chicago's "Rainbow Pickett" is a prime example of her early explorations in geometric abstraction and foreshadows her later, more complex feminist work.
