Catalog summary
Larry Stuart Bell Vapor drawing, 1983, signed 'Larry Bell' and dated lower center; together with the book Zones of Experience: The Art of Larry Bell. 28 1/2 x 22 1/2 in. (sheet), 30 x 24 in. (frame). Note: In 1978, Larry Bell began a series of works on paper that he called 'vapor drawings' that were created using the same technology he used to deposit thin films of color on glass. Because paper has different surface qualities than glass, Bell was able to experiment with the way the color adhered to the paper, creating different effects and spectrums of color. Also known as vacuum coating, or vacuum deposition, the use of this technology on paper allowed Bell to work quickly and spontaneously, mastering the technique that he could then apply to his work on other surfaces. In very good condition. Notwithstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
