Letting the Squirrels Have Their Way With His Art

Larry Bell, a renowned West Coast Minimalist artist, has installed his glass sculptures in a Manhattan park, allowing the public to experience the city in a new way. The sculptures, made of glass, are intentionally placed to interact with the surrounding environment, including the movement of squirrels. By letting the squirrels "have their way" with the art, Bell aims to create a dynamic and unexpected display that challenges the traditional notion of art. The sculptures, which are designed to catch and reflect the light, create a mesmerizing interplay between the natural and the artificial, inviting passersby to pause and engage with the work. Bell's decision to place the sculptures in a public space, rather than in a traditional gallery setting, reflects his desire to make art accessible to a wider audience. The exhibition serves as a testament to Bell's pioneering spirit and his commitment to redefining the boundaries of Minimalist art.
