James Turrell "Emblemata 1636" & "Penzance Eclipse"
Est: $1,000 - $1,500
James Turrell (American, b. 1943). "Emblemata 1636" & "Penzance Eclipse" aquatints, ca. 1999. Signature &"P.P." in pencil below "Penzance Eclipse". Title and "P.P." in pencil below "Emblemata 1636". Printer's proofs published by Segura Publishing. Two prints representing a solar eclipse by James Turrell. "Penzance Eclipse" represents a total eclipse in England, including the town of Penzance, on August 11, 1999. As seen in all total eclipses of the sun, the corona expands across the page from the totally blacked orb. "Emblemata 1636" is a bit more difficult to define. There was a total eclipse that year but it was visible over eastern Europe and China. None appeared in the western world. Also, the "Calo, non solo" appears to be a Latin phrase but not one that that is readily translatable. It features the moon transiting the sun though a partially cloudy sky above a mountain range just beneath. Approximate size of both (image): 6.5" L x 5" W (16.5 cm x 12.7 cm) Size (sheet): 10.5" L x 7.875" W (26.7 cm x 20 cm) About the artist: "James Turrell was born in 1943 in Los Angeles. He graduated from Pasadena High School in 1961 and studied experimental psychology at Pomona College in Claremont, California, receiving a BA there in 1965. Having become interested in art, he enrolled in the graduate program at the University of California at Irvine. He created his first light piece, Afrum (Proto), the next year, in which light projected into the corner of a room seemed to form a three-dimensional, illuminated floating cube that resolved itself into flat planes of light only upon close inspection. Leaving school, Turrell took a studio in the former Mendota Hotel in Ocean Park, California, and began to make more projection pieces. Turrell was given his first solo show at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1967. The following year, he began making constructions in which light shining out from behind one or more sides of a partition wall dissolved edges and changed the viewer's perception of space in a room. He participated in the Los Angeles County Museum's Art and Technology Program, investigating perceptual phenomena with the artist Robert Irwin and psychologist Edward Wortz. In 1969, Turrell made sky drawings with Sam Francis, using colored skywriting smoke and cloud-seeding materials. Mendota Stoppages, from this time, involved orchestrated sequences of light projected inside Turrell's darkened studio; the light, from natural and artificial sources outside, was admitted by opening and closing various apertures the artist had placed in the studio walls. Turrell received his MA in art from Claremont Graduate School in 1973. The next year, he began work on his first large Skyspace, an aperture cut into the roof of a building that causes the visible plane of the sky to appear flat at the level of the opening. Also in 1974, Turrell located Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in northern Arizona, where he has since worked to refine the site into a monumental observatory for perceiving extraordinary qualities of natural light and celestial events. A solo show of Turrell's work was held in 1976 at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. That same year, Turrell created his first Space Division Construction, in which an opening onto a space filled with ambient light is seen first as a flat surface and then as a window onto a fog-filled room of uncertain dimensions. Since the 1980s, Turrell has created dark pieces in which light is reduced to barely perceptible levels as well as site-specific light installations visible from outside of the multi-story buildings they inhabit. Retrospectives of Turrell's work were held in at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (1980), the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles (1985), Osterreichisches Museum fur angewandte Kunst in Vienna (1999), and Institut Valencia d'Art Modern (2004). The artist lives in Flagstaff, Arizona."

James Turrell "Image Stone: Moon Side" (1999)
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
James Turrell (American, b. 1943). "Image Stone: Moon Side" six photogravure, aquatint, & lithographs on wove paper, 1999. Publisher's print. Each hand-signed with "P.P." written in pencil beneath image. Published by Segura Publishing Company, Tempe, Arizona, USA. An impressive ensemble of six publisher's prints from the "Image Stone: Moon Side" portfolio by the "master of light" American artist James Turrell. The lithographs depict images of the moon in four different phases - waxing gibbous/almost full, waxing quarter, waning quarter, and waning crescent - as well as the building plan at the celestial observatory chamber and a drawing of a moonstone. Though Turrell created many "Skyspaces" or enclosed spaces open to the sky through an aperture in the roof, the building plan shown here was likely for what eventually became the "Within without" Skyspace at the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra. Size of largest image (Sun & Moon Floor Plan): 8.25" W x 12.25" H (21 cm x 31.1 cm); of sheet (all the same): 15" W x 18.375" H (38.1 cm x 46.7 cm) One of Turrell's largest and most complex to date, this Skyspace included a central moonstone - portrayed in the drawing - that mimics the shape of the oculus above. About the artist: "James Turrell was born in 1943 in Los Angeles.

Condition: The work is in very good condition. The work is one of 4 aquatint etchings (Sqat, Juke, Carn, Alta), one of each is bound into the Parkett edition. With Parkett magazine. "Turrell treats light as substance. Instead of stone, wood, clay or bronze, he 'molds' light - artificial or natural - whose density displays a barely visible but fluctuating, palpable presence: palpable through perception. The visitor who exposes himself to this perception is inevitably and bluntly confronted with himself." Jean-Christophe Ammann, Parkett no. 25, 1990.

Est: $150,000 - $200,000
James Turrell (b. 1943) "Hologram #10," 2008 Mixed-media hologram and glass construction, electrified Titled to a gallery label affixed verso; projector marked: 700mA BUCKPUCK 3023-D-E-700 LUXDRIVE 55" H x 40" W x 2.5" D Provenance: The Artist Private Collection, acquired from the above Sold: Christie's, New York, NY, "Post-War and Contemporary Art," November 16, 2017, Lot 824 Private Collection, acquired from the above Notes: A field of blue light emanates from a backlit square pierced by an obtuse triangle. While composed of simple geometric shapes, James Turrell's "Hologram 10" evokes an expansive, ethereal ambiance reminiscent of the work of Mark Rothko. In lieu of paint and canvas, however, Turrell's homage to the master of the prior generation relies upon holographic projection. His striking installation dramatizes light and heightens form in a theatrical, even ceremonial manner. The present work, executed in 2008, relates to a broader series exploring visual illusion. His shapes appear to float weightlessly, yet their dimensionality, entirely defined by radiating light, renders them sculptural. James Turrell was raised in the Quaker faith, a contemplative religion that privileges silence and equates light with religious experience. It has been suggested that the spiritual quality of his work may be a nod to this upbringing. Native to Los Angeles, Turrell was later among an avant-garde group of artists who founded the Light and Space Movement in the 1950s. Pairing an interest in conceptualism with an emphasis on luminosity, they were inspired by Minimalism in New York. Still, they transformed the aesthetic to respond to Southern California's sunny, atmospheric surroundings. Other inspirations for Turrell and the Light and Space artists included the region's burgeoning aerospace industry and experimental psychology. Turrell studied training as a pilot and delved into research on human perception, sensory deprivation, and other pioneering practices related to cognition. Each discipline informed his expanding artistic approach; these sources gave rise to the ephemeral qualities and optical significance that pervaded his oeuvre. In addition, light and Space artists often looked to found objects and unlikely materials associated with new technologies and local industry—Turrell fully ascribed to this ethos. Finally, Turrell and his circle appropriated the concept of the sublime, most often connected with nineteenth-century romanticism, to produce artwork capable of eliciting a sense of transcendence and awe. Also known as the "Cool School," Turrell and the Light and Space artists left an indelible mark on contemporary art. Turrell's work continues to be shown in institutions worldwide, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, in Los Angeles, among others. Since the 1970s, Turrell has been working on his pièce de résistance, a celestial light observatory at the Roden Crater in Arizona.
