Rainbow is 94 feet high and visible from vantage points as far away as several miles. For the concept of Rainbow, Tony Tasset was inspired by multiple factors including rainbows as a symbol for imagination and optimism. The work also references THE WIZARD OF OZ, which was filmed on the former MGM lot (now Sony Pictures Studios) in Culver City in the late 1930s.
In addition to Rainbow saluting the specific history of its immediate location, it also addresses another facet of this region's cultural life, the "Light and Space" movement first articulated in Los Angeles in the 1960s.
For more information on the engineering and construction of Rainbow, including a time-lapse video, please visit the Sony Pictures Museum.
