The image illustrates a key body of work in Jessica Stockholder's career in which she produced commissioned, site-specific and temporary outdoor installations. These works combine everyday objects, painted or altered areas of color, buildings, land- and cityscapes into vibrant, three-dimensional Constructivist-like paintings that visitors interact with and can enter. In this work, created in Chicago, Stockholder blanketed the four corners and buildings surrounding a busy downtown intersection in swaths of burnt orange, lime green and turquoise, creating an effect compared to work by Christo and Hans Hofmann. This work was commissioned, publicly exhibited in a location and discussed widely in major art journals and daily press publications.

These works have been created internationally, in New York City's Madison Square Park, Chicago, Basel, Switzerland and Germany, among other locales. They have incorporated industrial materials, bleachers, household items, gardens, cars, architecture and street corners.

Stockholder's work of this type and this particular work is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
