Rainbow Machine, Sculpture at Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art, Milwaukee, US.
Rainbow Machine is a metal sculpture from 1993 in the Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art that captures light and color through its reflective structure. The work shifts its appearance as natural lighting in the museum changes throughout the day.
Joseph Burlini created this installation in 1993 as part of the museum's effort to expand its contemporary art collection. The work emerged during a period when the Haggerty Museum was building its permanent collection of modern pieces.
The Rainbow Machine reflects the museum's commitment to presenting innovative art forms that connect with Marquette University's educational mission.
The sculpture is accessible during regular museum hours from Monday through Saturday and is located in the museum's outdoor space. Viewing the piece requires no special arrangements and is included with free general admission.
The sculpture's metallic components interact with natural light throughout the day, creating different visual effects depending on the viewing time.
