John McCracken
b. 1934, Berkeley, California, USA
d. 2011, New York, USA
John McCracken was a central figure of West Coast Minimalism. He worked with plywood, fibreglass, resin, and lacquer. His practice is defined by precise geometric forms, polished surfaces, and vivid colour. McCracken is best known for his plank works, which lean directly against the wall. Reduced to a single vertical plane, these works heighten the effects of colour, light, and reflection.
