"Glacier," a 1988 sculpture by John McCracken, is a minimalist work consisting of a tall, rectangular form painted a deep blue. Its smooth, glossy surface reflects light and its stark simplicity invites contemplation of form and space. McCracken, known for his geometric sculptures, explored the relationship between objects and their surroundings, often utilizing industrial materials like fiberglass. This piece exemplifies his signature style and the artistic movement of Minimalism.
