Whether he's projecting holographs into a gallery space or inviting viewers to gaze at the sky through a hole in the roof, James Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light" - evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell's work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science, and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's career to date - from his early geometric light projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of coloured light, to recent two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and film stills. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savour in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned new photography by Florian Holzherr.
