JAMES TURRELL, (American, 1943)
Deep Sky (suite of 7), 1984
Aquatint
12.8 x 19.5 inches
Edition of 45
Signed and numbered in pencil
A leading artist in the “Light and Space” movement, James Turrell is best known for immersive art experiences that contemplate perception, light, color and space. The Deep Sky suite of prints represent seven vantage points of Turrell’s project at Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in northern Arizona, which for more than 30 years the artist has been transforming into a series of rooms and tunnels that open onto vistas of the desert sky as an exploration of the ways the eye perceives light.
