Larry Bell — Vse 23
Larry Bell

Vse 23

1982

"Vse 23" by Larry Bell is a striking work that merges the artist's signature vacuum deposition process with paper collage, layering fragile material beneath a coating of oxidized aluminum. The result is a luminous, atmospheric surface where light shifts and reflects across the metallic finish, creating a sense of depth and quiet tension. Bell's mastery of vapor drawing transforms humble materials into an ethereal meditation on surface, light, and perception.
