About this Item

4° - 75pp - Color & B/w reproductions. Published as exhibition catalogue: James Turrell (1943) American artist known for his work within the Light and Space movement. He is considered the "master of light" often creating art installations that mix natural light with artificial color through openings in ceilings thereby transforming internal spaces by ever shifting and changing color. Much of Turrell's career has been devoted to a still-unfinished work, Roden Crater, a natural cinder cone crater located outside Flagstaff, Arizona, that he is turning into a massive naked-eye observatory; and for his series of skyspaces, enclosed spaces that frame the sky. First edition, text in English. Original binding (The binding was created by Turrell in the form of an orange neon light on the front and back cover) . In Fine condition.
