This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Larry Bell, who joins me to discuss his career as one of the foremost sculptors of the post-war period. Bell, 72, was a key pivot between California hard-edge painting, light-and-space, and minimalism, which Bell anticipated in his sculptural work of the late 1950s. Bell’s work is in the collection of virtually every major museum of modern and contemporary art.

“The striking, sad irony of the exhibition “Zoe Strauss: 10 Years” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art is that the people Strauss photographs cannot afford to go see the museum’s exhibition of her work.”
