Lovely exhibition at White Cube, Mason’s Yard of work by Larry Bell. Bell is part of the California “Light and Space” movement which I had not come across before. It seems to combine sculptural form and light. These works seemed to be sculptural works which included light and were also changed by light. The new works were described as Light Knots sculptures and were free hanging works in polyester film which absorbed and reflected the light in different ways are almost seemed to disappear at times. Downstairs were larger works including “Corner Lamp” which formed a diamond shaped rainbow on the wall. Also “6x8 An Improvisation” which was a maze of tall plains of, I guess, glass and mirrors. Sometimes you could see through it and sometimes you were reflected in it. It was slightly disorientating and very clever.
