Larry Bell is an American contemporary artist and sculptor. Best known for his glass boxes and large-scaled illusionistic sculptures, his works are found in the collections of many major cultural institutions. Throughout his career, Larry Bell has made investigations into the properties of light on surface. By experimenting with the nature of surface and its relationship to space, Bell has devised a methodology characterised by spontaneity, intuition and improvisation.
