Study for "Accumulated Vision, Series II" 1976

This drawing, "Study for 'Accumulated Vision, Series II'" (1976) by Barry Le Va (1941-2021), is a preliminary study for one of the artist’s signature “Accumulated Vision” works. It is characterized by the precise lines and gridded framework that form a complex geometric structure. The drawing explores the potential for a three-dimensional spatial installation, as evident in the use of taped-down paper shapes, lines, and dots. It exemplifies Le Va’s approach to art as a process of engaging with the physicality of materials and space, often through the use of simple yet powerful visual elements.
