Larry Bell , né en 1939 à Chicago, est une figure majeure de l’art contemporain. Son oeuvre explore la lumière et sa perception. Photographies, sculptures et dessins forment un corpus dont la richesse est étonnante. [...] La perception périphérique est au centre de ses recherches, le verre devenant peu à peu son matériau privilégié. La réflexion et l’opacité possibles de cette matière lui permettent d’inventer des processus afin de créer des objets sculpturaux qui déjouent les frontières entre les catégories établies de la peinture et de la sculpture.

The Skylon was a futuristic-looking, slender, vertical, cigar-shaped steel tensegrity structure located by the Thames in London, that apparently floated above the ground, built in 1951 for the Festival of Britain.
A popular joke of the period was that, like the British economy of 1951, “It had no visible means of support”.
