Original blue hard cloth lettered in white, with no dust-jacket as published. Quarto. 128 pages. Profusely illustrated, with Turrell's "Aten Reign" sequence of paintings the stand out feature. This "immense, elliptical, nearly hallucinatory play of light and color that makes brilliant use of the museum's famed rotunda and ocular skylight" - Roberta Smith, New York Times.A Fine copy. Hardback catalogue for the groundbreaking exhibition held the Guggenheim, New York, in 2013. Ms Smith continues, "Mr. Turrell [is] a leading member of the groundbreaking Light and Space generation of artists that emerged in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. The most comprehensive is at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, while the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston is showing seven works from its collection. The Guggenheim's effort, which has been organized by Carmen Giménez, the museum's formidable curator of 20th-century art, and Nat Trotman, associate curator, is in some ways singularly ambitious, simply because "Aten Reign" is the largest temporary installation Mr. Turrell or the museum has ever undertaken".
