Dan Graham
American · b. 1942

Graham's pavilion sculptures extensively use two way mirror glass and steel frameworks to create disorienting reflective environments that blur boundaries between viewer and space, directly paralleling Aitken's use of colored and clear mirror in Exit.

Larry Bell
American · b. 1939

Bell's minimalist sculptural installations utilizing coated glass and reflective surfaces explore light, perception, and spatial ambiguity in ways that closely echo the reflective and geometric industrial qualities of Exit.

Anish Kapoor
British Indian · b. 1954

Kapoor's large scale mirror based sculptures such as Cloud Gate use highly polished reflective surfaces and powder coated steel structures to manipulate perception and spatial experience, sharing the same core material language and conceptual concerns as Exit.
