The artwork, titled “Red Alert,” was created by Hito Steyerl in 2007 and is part of the Minimalism art movement. Classified as an installation, this piece epitomizes a reduction of form and color, consistent with Minimalist principles.
The artwork features three vertically aligned rectangular panels, all uniformly filled with a solid red color. These panels, framed in a minimalist fashion, rest against a plain white background, emphasizing their bold yet simple hue. The use of a single, striking color across multiple panels reinforces the Minimalist technique of creating profound statements through simplicity and repetition. The stark contrast between the vibrant red panels and the white backdrop further accentuates the starkness and intensity of the color, inviting viewers to engage with the elemental aspects of the composition.
