James Turrell, on view through September 25, is the American artist’s first solo exhibition in a New York museum since 1980. The exhibition features a major new site-specific work, Aten Reign (2013), which represents one of the most dramatic transformations of the museum ever conceived—reimagining the rotunda of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic building with shifting natural and artificial light and creating a dynamic perceptual experience that exposes the materiality of light. The exhibition includes select early works in addition to the monumental new installation and considers the dominant themes Turrell has explored for nearly fifty years, focusing on his investigations of perception, light, color, and space and the critical role of site-specificity in his practice.
