Bilder aus Licht (German Edition) [German]

By Ulrike Gehring

The California light artist James Turrell founded a new, spatially defined light art in the 1960s. In this volume, art historian Ulrike Gehring examines the various qualities of light in American art. The transition from painted light in a picture to staged light in space is traced in the examples of James Turrell, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Dan Flavin.
