Kayne Griffin Corcoran (Los Angeles) is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by James Turrell. The exhibition will include three major, large-scale “Elliptical Glass” works as well as a selection of unique graphic works taken from “Aten Reign“, the large work created for the atrium of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 2013.
The “Elliptical Glass” series developed out of Turrell’s larger group of “Tall Glass” works, begun in 2006, was significant in its introduction of a temporal element. Over a two-and-a-half-hour time period the unique composition sweeps through thousands of different color themes.
The unique prints shown in the South Gallery were created as a form of documentation of the artist’s major installation, “Aten Reign” at the Guggenheim in 2013. The installation has been described by the museum as “one of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever conceived”. The unique prints capture each developmental stage of light projected in the museum’s distinctive curved architecture.
Turrell believes human perception to be his true medium; in his words, “My art is about your seeing“. His investigation into this field has extended well beyond the walls of the world’s foremost galleries and museums.
