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.

Featuring bold, immersive images of the artist’s visionary installations, this comprehensive volume—published for the artist's exhibition at Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden, Germany—combines key works from Turrell's various phases. Tracking his career from the 1960s onwards, the book reveals how Turrell’s engagement with light, space and color have altered the way we perceive the world.
