The artwork, “Untitled (Iridescent Cube)” by Larry Bell, created in 1964, belongs to the Light and Space art movement and is categorized as a sculpture. This piece exemplifies Bell’s exploration of light, transparency, and reflection.
The artwork is a cube, characterized by its iridescent qualities which allow it to change colors based on the light and the viewer’s perspective. The cube’s structure is composed of a sleek, metallic framework that encases delicate, translucent panes. These panes exhibit a subtle gradient of blue and other iridescent hues that appear to shift and shimmer. The simplicity of the geometric form is contrasted by the dynamic visual effects created by the interaction of light with the surfaces.
