A series of unique works by Larry Bell encapsulate decades of experiments in material, process and intuition.

Little 3DVD translates the artist’s contorted ‘light knot’ sculptures to a smaller scale for the first time. Pieces of Mylar are coated with various elements – metals and forms of quartz – before being twisted into three dimensional 'vapor drawings' and encased in a tapered Optium box. The spontaneous, unrepeatable process means that no two are the same.

Proceeds from the series will support UK-based arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms. Read more about the partnership here.

Behind the scenes

Larry Bell1 collaborationFor over six decades, Larry Bell has been fascinated with light. He works across many mediums – including furniture, installation and drawing. But above all, Bell is most celebrated for his iconic glass-cube sculptures. They have become a go-to for light art. He has influenced fellow sculptors like minimalist Donald Judd to light and space artist Peter Alexander from the 1960s. Bell’s unique process is at the heart of this. In particular, he works with an industrial technique called Thermal Evaporation. This places metallic film onto the glass, creating the illusionistic effect Bell is known for.
