Performed in 1968, this piece was commissioned by the Santa
Barbara Museum of Art in Santa Barbara, CA. Chicago exploded orange and yellow
smoke along a strip of the museum’s concrete wall. “It looked like the museum
was on fire. I loved that,” she remembers. “Because, of course, museums were
not exactly hospitable to women artists.” The flares scarred the wall with
permanent black marks.
