Cube # 5
1967
Larry Bell's "Cube #5" is a minimalist work from the 1960s featuring a transparent or translucent cube constructed from coated glass planes that create subtle chromatic and reflective effects. The work exemplifies Bell's signature exploration of light, perception, and materiality through precision fabrication and optical coating techniques. By dematerializing the solid form through transparency and layered reflections, Bell invites viewers to experience how light and color interact across surfaces rather than focusing on the object's physical presence.
