This publication documents an exhibition of seven critical and seminal installations by Arizona-based artist James Turrell. He has spent the last two decades creating a celestial observatory at Roden Crater. Turrell’s installations use the power of light to transport the viewer to experience beyond the everyday world and encourage meditation and awareness. The catalogue documents the installations; a suite of 20 prints; First Light; and architectural drawings, photographs, and a model related to Roden Crater. Includes the only list of Turrell’s publicly accessible installations; essays by Lynn M. Herbert, John Lienhard and Pittman McGehee; and documentation on the artist’s career.
