Deets: Almine Rech New York is pleased to present James Turrell's 13th solo exhibition in over three decades with the gallery, on view from November 12, 2026 to January 30, 2027.
Featuring over fifteen works, this presentation will include a new Shallow Space, as well as new pieces from the Glassworks series and a new Cross Corner work. These additions to landmark bodies of work continue Turrell’s relentless exploration of space and light, encouraging viewers to pay close attention to their own senses.
In 1989, Almine Rech organized Turrell’s first gallery exhibition in Europe, presenting a Light Piece entitled Blood Lust at her gallery in Paris. Today, after over thirty years of collaboration, this exhibition attests to the enduring relationship between the artist and the gallery, as well as Turrell’s ongoing dedication to his abiding creative watchword: perception.
Since the 1960s, Turrell has used light as his medium. A major figure of the Southern California Light and Space movement, Turrell’s work includes sculpted, seemingly solid blocks of pure light, rooms awash with slowly modulating light, and architectural structures that frame the ever-changing sky. Each piece extends the opportunity to be immersed in a contemplative, sensorial environment, directing our focus to the act of seeing itself.
Hint for the Average Socialite: Get free tickets now! Note: More will be released.
