The artwork, “Cube #10-1-92,” created by Larry Bell in 1992, is a sculpture associated with the Light and Space art movement. This geometric piece exemplifies the genre of sculpture through its meticulous manipulation of light and spatial perception.
“Cube #10-1-92” is a transparent, cubic structure that plays with reflections and refractions. The sculpture’s surfaces consist of glass, treated in such a way as to reflect and refract light, creating a prismatic effect that alters the viewer’s perception depending on their viewpoint. It features an intricate internal lattice pattern which adds depth and complexity, mirroring the artist’s exploration of light and space. The transparency and reflective properties of the cube manipulate the ambient light, forming an ever-changing interaction with its environment. The sculpture embodies a balance between form and illusion, inviting viewers to engage with the work from multiple angles to fully appreciate its dynamic and transformative qualities.
