<p>SIGNED by James Turrell. James Turrell: A Retrospective (LACMA Edition) is an out-of-print special museum edition produced to the artist's exact specifications. Each book has a debossed linen cover and "split fountain" - i.e., graduated tone - endsheets (as shown), no dust jacket; and is printed in Italy using a specially developed, stochastic printing technique. The trade edition of this book has a dust jacket and single-color endsheets The James Turrell: A Retrospective book was published in conjunction with the exhibition James Turrell: A Retrospective at LACMA. This comprehensive book illuminates the origins and motivations of James Turrell's incredibly diverse and exciting body of work from his Mendota studio days to his monumental work-in-progress Roden Crater. Whether he's projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, James Turrell is perpetually asking us to "go inside and greet the light" evoking his Quaker upbringing. In fact, all of Turrell's work has been influenced by his life experiences with aviation, science, and psychology, and as a key player in Los Angeles's exploding art scene of the 1960s. Enhanced by thoughtful essays and an illuminating interview with the artist, this monograph explores every aspect of Turrell's career to date, from his early geometric light projections, prints, and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to recent two-dimensional experiments with holograms. It also features an in-depth look at Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape near Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and drawings. Fans of this highly influential artist will find much to savor in this wide-ranging and beautiful book, featuring specially commissioned new photography by Florian Holzherr.</p>
