Ba-O-Ba, Number 3
1969

A minimalist art installation featuring neon lights in red, green, yellow, and blue, arranged geometrically against a white wall and reflecting on a corrugated surface below. The lights create a vibrant spectrum of colors where they intersect and cast a soft glow on the surrounding floor.
