Extraordinary ideas realized

“My work is more about your seeing than it is about my seeing.” –James Turrell

For more than 50 years, James Turrell has devoted himself to the treatment of immateriality, materiality and perception, making light a sensual and spiritual experience. Turrell floods rooms with light that is experienced as gentle seas of color or as an intensely glowing fog, taking observers to the very limits of their perception. Turrell eliminates the possibility of orienting one’s location by means of an object or spatial limits. The artist himself constantly emphasizes that his work is best described as “perceptual art.”
