    Comments

    This early work by the American artist was created during his art studies at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, which he completed in 1969 with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA). Le Va became known in the early 1970s for floor installations made of scattered objects, which he meticulously prepared in drawings.
