Edward Cella Art & Architecture presents “R. Buckminster Fuller: Inventions and Models,” an exhibition of original prints, models and objects by 20th century visionary, architect, engineer, inventor and artist R. Buckminster Fuller, on view until Nov. 3.

Organized 35 years after Fuller’s death, the exhibition represents an opportunity to reflect upon his comprehensive perspective on the world and humanity. The exhibition will be accompanied by two public programs collaboratively organized and presented with the Buckminster Fuller Institute.
The exhibition centers around the “Inventions” portfolio, a limited-edition print collection of Fuller’s key innovations including the 4D House, the Dymaxion Car and the Geodesic Dome, representing just a few of the more than thirty patents he holds.
Edward Cella and the Buckminster Fuller Institute also presents “Thomas T.K. Zung: The Dymaxion World of Buckminster Fuller,” a talk by Thomas T.K. Zung, a student, collaborator and partner of Fuller’s, on Sept. 22 at 3 p.m. The gallery and institute will also host “In Conversation: Allegra Fuller Snyder with David McConville,” during which Fuller’s daughter, Snyder, will speak with Buckminster Fuller Institute board President McConville about Fuller’s legacy and projects on Oct. 13 at 3 p.m.
Edward Cella is located at 2754 S. La Cienega Blvd. For information, visit edwardcella.com.
