James Turrell's Art of Opulence and Light

"It was one of those religious moments—it was an astonishing occurrence, a magic act," Pace Founder and Chairman Arne Glimcher says of his first encounter with James Turrell's work some 60 years ago. On the occasion of The Return—Turrell's first solo exhibition in Seoul since 2008, on view at our gallery in the Korean capital through September 27—Glimcher shares his memories of Turrell's early work and reflects on the evolution of the artist's practice over the years. In The Return, Turrell is presenting five recent installations, including a new, never-before-seen, site-specific Wedgework.
