New Light c. 1989

"New Light" (c. 1989) is a minimalist artwork by American artist James Turrell (1943-), who is known for his work with light and space. Turrell's art often explores the human perception of color and form by manipulating light in a controlled environment. This specific work features a single, bright red rectangular light source that illuminates the otherwise dark space. Turrell's work often invites viewers to contemplate the nature of light and their own sensory experiences.
