Zerkall laid paper, bound in Parkett issue Measurement: 19 x 15 x 25,5 x 21cm. Notation: Signed, titled and numbered. Publisher: Parkett-Verlag, Zurich (publisher). Number: 1/40. 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.
