A pioneer in light and land art, James Turrell is best known for his transformation of a massive crater in the Arizona desert into a celestial observatory.
While preparing his land project, Turrell began making “skyspaces” — light installations that bring the heavens into exhibition spaces — and turned his investigations of projected colored light, backlit planes of tinted glass, and strikingly minimal holograms into ever-growing perceptual wonders in galleries and museums worldwide.
