About the Book

For more than fifty years, James Turrell (*1943, Los Angeles), one of the most prominent artists of our time, has devoted himself to the exploration of the (im)materiality and perception of light. Turrell succeeds like no other artist in making it possible to experience light as an artistic medium through the senses and the intellect alike. He himself describes his art as "perceptual art." In his large installations the artist floods accessible spaces with light, which spills out in soft seas of color or intensely glowing, luminous fogs, taking viewers to the limits of their perception. This book provides a comprehensive view of Turrell's oeuvre and unites works of art from various phases of his career from the 1960s onward.Exhibition:9.6.-28.10.2018, Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden

About the Author :
As an undergraduate, James Turrell (born 1943) studied psychology and mathematics, transitioning to art only at MFA level. A practicing Quaker, he has described one of his earliest memories: his grandmother inviting him to "go inside and greet the light" at Quaker meetings. The recipient of several prestigious awards, including Guggenheim and MacArthur fellowships, Turrell lives in Arizona.

Review :
The real beauty of this book, with its stunning photographs and rainbow-color-tinted pages, is that you get to take a piece of Mr. Turrell's magic home with you.-- "Wall Street Journal" The real beauty of this book, with its stunning photographs and rainbow-color-tinted pages, is that you get to take a piece of Mr. Turrell's magic home with you.--Lance Esplund "Wall Street Journal" Bold, immersive images of the artist's visionary installations. Tracking his career from the 1960s onwards, the book reveals how Turrell's engagement with light, space and colour have altered the way we perceive the world.-- "Aesthetica" Turrell's meticulously engineered environments transform light into a palpable object. Light is felt as wind or heat might befelt; and space, when experienced as indefinite, paradoxically presses close and evelops the body. Extraordinary Ideas can't provide that extraordinary sensation, but it does remind us that light, as Turrell puts it, 'is a powerful substance.'--Albert Mobilio "Bookforum" "a beautiful compilation of key works" Featured in New York Magazine's The 20 Best Coffee-Table Books to Give, According to Art People--Sandro Kereselidze "New York Magazine"
