Each Glass work is a unique composition, incorporating a temporal element in which hundreds of vivid combinations of colors seep into each other as they slowly shift over time. Together, the works create an immersive and changing light-filled environment and a place for meditation, introspection, and awe. The color filled apertures advance the lineage of abstract art, building on the tenets of Mark Rothko’s Color Field paintings or Ad Reinhardt’s black paintings, which for Turrell “brought color out of darkness.” In implicating the viewer in the temporal experience of color within the physical and perceptual experience, Turrell turns light into a powerful substance. I want light itself to be the revelation.

Located in the Painted Desert region of Northern Arizona, Roden Crater is a monumental artwork created within a volcanic cinder. Representing the culmination of the artist’s lifelong research in the field of human visual and psychological perception, Roden Crater is a gateway to the contemplation of light, time, and landscape.Since its inception, Turrell and has received widespread and high-profile support from corporations and foundations. Roden Crater counts DIA Art Foundation, Guggenheim Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts among its Founding Donors. Pace and Kayne Griffin Corcoran will use the occasion of Frieze Los Angeles to further engage the West Coast community with Roden Crater through an education campaign on the project and by encouraging individual contributions.

He has been working towards the realization of this seminal work for decades, and the end is ever closer. However modest the donation, every individual has the power to make it happen and to become part of the Roden Crater story. It’s a project close to my heart that, once open to the public, will truly illustrate the impact art can have on humanity.” (opens in a new window) To learn more and become a Friend of Roden Crater, click here. James TurrellJames Turrell, associated with the Light and Space movement of the 1960s, has dedicated his practice to what he has deemed perceptual art, investigating the materiality of light. Influenced by the notion of pure feeling in pictorial art, Turrell’s earliest work focused on the dialectic between constructing light and painting with light, building on the sensorial experience of space, color, and perception.Learn More
