Made in plywood and then covered in fibreglass and polyester resin and lacquered in bold colours, the "neutral forms" transform into objects that knowingly bring together Minimal Art trends with the colours of the automobile industry and the idea of a mental and immaterial space.
McCraken, famous mainly for these "minimalist, spiritual, enigmatic, irresistibly beautiful" sculptures and paintings was then a prominent artist on the international artistic scene in the 1970s for his Mandala cycle of paintings.
Key Sales Information - John McCracken is known for his unusual and visionary approach to trends in Minimalism and Finish Fetish, art movements which developed in the United States at the beginning of the 1960s - This catalogue presents around fifty historic works beginning from the 1960s, the paintings from the Mandala cycle from the 1970s ? which have rarely or perhaps never been shown in public ? and finally his most recent works, such as the evocative installation Aurora dating from 2008 - It includes critical essays, an interview with the artist and a chronology detailing his long career.
