James Turrell was featured in the Wall Street Journal for his exhibition of landmark light projections, currently on view in 67 68 69 at two Pace Gallery locations through June 18, 2016. The artist discusses his early experimentation with optics and perceptual psychology, which were seminal to the creation of subsequent works including Roden Crater in the Painted Hills region of the San Francisco volcanic field, Aten Reign at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and over 80 Skyspaces internationally.

An exhibition of prints by James Turrrell will be on view concurrently at both Pace Prints locations through June 11, 2016.
