About the Item
Larry Zox (1937-2006) was a central figure in the evolution of abstraction in American art of the 20th century. He played an essential role in the Color Field discourse of the 1960s and 1970s.
Raised in Des Moines, Iowa, Zox studied at the University of Oklahoma and went on to work under the tutelage of modernist Georg Grosz at the Des Moines Art Centre. Zox moved to New York City and established his reputation by the mid 1960's. His studio was located on 20th Street and he was surrounded and inspired by a melting pot of jazz artists, bikers, and boxers.
By the mid 1960s, Zox arrived at his characteristic style, utilizing hard-edge shapes in bold colors to create geometric patterns, which were often created on raw canvas.
“Edmonton” is a quintessential example of his mastery of geometry and color. With a mathematical precision and a subtle approach, Zox flattened colorful triangular shapes onto graph paper.
Zox's hard-edge geometric creations from the late 1960s and early 70s are arguably the most important from his oeuvre. Fittingly he was the subject of a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1973. Today, his works are held in the collections of numerous museums including the Whitney, The MoMA, the Tate and the Metropolitan Museum.
"Rotation" is a quintessential example of his mastery of geometry and color. A rich purple dominates this abstract drawing surrounded by trapezoids. To the 21st century viewer, this palette evokes an early 90s sensibility, however this work was created nearly 30 years prior, when such a presentation of color was radical rather than trendy.

Larry Zox
Larry Zox was one of the principal representatives of the generation of young painters following the era of the Abstract Expressionists. He is best known for his exuberant geometric abstractions. Many classified him as an Abstract artist, but he considered himself to be a Colorist, which made a strong contribution to the Color Field movement of the 1960s. Zox utilized geometric forms in a mechanistic format and fewer contrasting colors in a design that is based upon improvisation. His works conform to the modern idea that art must be done with fluidity, acceleration and rapidity of execution.
