Description
Stanley Landsman Infinity Mirror 1970
Painted matte black wood and mirrored glass
Dimensions: 84¼ h × 25 w × 24 d in
Stanley Landsman was a pioneering sculptor best known for his “Infinity Mirror” installations—sculptural environments that use mirrored glass and electric light to evoke the illusion of infinite space. His work is associated with the Op Art movement and is celebrated for its exploration of perception, repetition, and optical effects.
A key figure in postwar American art, Landsman created immersive works like the Walk-In Infinity Chamber (1968), now in the collection of the Milwaukee Art Museum. His pieces are also held in prominent institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), which houses his 1967 untitled mirror-light work.
Landsman’s artistic philosophy and process are further explored in a 1968 oral history interview archived by the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art.
His “Infinity Mirror” sculptures remain influential to contemporary artists working with space, reflection, and light.
Condition Report:
Wired for American outlets; fitted with two fluorescent pin base bulbs.
Good overall vintage condition. Painted wood surfaces show scattered chips and darkened losses, the largest approx. 5" h × 0.75" w. Mirrored glass panels have minor scratches and edge nicks, not visually distracting. The sculpture includes two double-mirrored glass panels with light opacity; when illuminated, interior contents are subtly visible. Presents well. - More Information
