One of the most renowned and influential artists to emerge from the Los Angeles art scene of the 1960s, Larry Bell will present brand-new works from his most recent Deconstructed Cube series. Known foremost for his refined surface treatment of glass and explorations of light, reflection and shadow through the material, Bell’s significant oeuvre extends from painting and works on paper to glass sculptures and furniture design. Featuring two large-scale deconstructed cubes, as well as a selection of smaller-scale works from the same series, these works combine elements from both Bell’s detached Standing Walls and his Nesting Cubes series. A solo exhibition of works by Larry Bell opens at Dia Beacon in New York on 12 March 2022, bringing together a focused selection of Bell’s early sculptures alongside a new diptych from his Deconstructed Cube series. Bell’s understanding of the potential of glass and light allows him to expand visual and physical fields of perception, and his sculptures to transform beyond traditional bounds of the medium.
