Synopsis
Copublished with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art for the major touring retrospective and concurrent exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, this comprehensive volume illuminates the origins and motivations of James Turrell's incredibly diverse and exciting body of work--from his Mendota studio days to his monumental work-in-progress Roden Crater. Whether he's projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, James Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light"--evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell's work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science, and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's career to date--from his early geometric light projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to recent two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and drawings. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savor in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned new photography by Florian Holzherr. 250 color illustrations

Govan, Michael. JAMES TURRELL: A Retrospective. 303 pages, including 250 color plates. 4to, cloth. New York, Prestel in association with Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 2013. There isn't another in-print book on James Turrell that rivals this one. Given the near impossibility of a reprint of the catalogue raisonné, this book comes closest to capturing the full spectrum of his career. Although the heavy paper does not convey the luminosity of the works, it does capture another aspect of them, the saturation of color. The book has a heft that far exceeds its pagination. There are nine chapters that make up the text, plus a foreword and two essays, one of which transcribes a conversation with the artist in 2012. This is the "worth the price of admission" section of the book; it's Turrell's voice, and it's fascinating. Lacking dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 148293

Condition: Sehr gut. 1. Aufl. 304 S. KEINE Eintragungen/Markierungen. Ursprünge und Motivationen von James Turrells vielseitigem und aufregendem uvre Raum und Licht sind die Pole, zwischen denen sich das Werk James Turrells bewegt. Egal, ob es sich um Lichtprojektionen in einer Galerie handelt, oder ob er die Betrachter einlädt, durch ein Loch in der Decke in den Himmel zu schauen: James Turrell will immer, dass wir nach innen gehen und das Licht begrüßen" eine Reminiszenz an seine Quäker-Herkunft. Diese wie seine Erfahrungen mit Luftfahrt, Naturwissenschaften und Psychologie sind prägend für sein Schaffen. Begleitet von Essays und einem Interview mit dem Künstler, untersucht diese Monografie sämtliche Aspekte seiner Karriere von den frühen geometrischen Lichtprojektionen und Installationen bis hin zu kürzlich entstandenen Experimenten mit Hologrammen. - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen.
