About the Work
This work is a study by Barry Le Va for a possible sculpture. Le Va's sculptures and installations are distinctive for their reductive forms and deliberate placement, and he uses drawings to explore various combinations of his abstract components.
About the Artist
Barry Le Va is an artist, painter, and sculptor whose abstract sculptures and installations are featured in major art collections around the world. He became one of the first so-called "Process" artists in 1966 with his "scatter pieces," made by scattering seemingly random scraps on the floor of otherwise empty rooms. Since then, Le Va has continued his practice, creating sculpture that exists in dialogue with the space it occupies, incorporating elements inspired by music into his work, and maintaining physical evidence of the artist and his process in his art.
