James Turrell (b.1943) is an American artist known for his work within the Light and Space movement. What he terms perceptual art, Turrell has extensively interrogated the materiality of light within his work, building on the sensorial experiences of space, colour and perception.
He has exhibited internationally, with shows at Museo Jumex, Mexico City, Mexico, Los Angeles County Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles, CA, IVAM, Valencia, Spain and Espace Electra, Paris France.
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, London, Paris, Salzburg donated an edition of 'Sky Space' (2006) for the 2019 Art of Wishes Gala auction.
