中文简介：

本书阐明了詹姆斯·特瑞尔（James Turrell）非常多样化和激动人心的作品的起源和动机——从他的门多塔工作室时期到宏伟的罗登陨石坑项目。无论是将形状投射到平坦的墙上还是画廊空间的角落，特瑞尔总是要求我们“进去迎接光明”——这句话来他从小接受的教友派教会的教育。事实上，特瑞尔的所有作品都受到了他在航空、科学和心理学方面的人生经历的影响，他是20世纪60年代洛杉矶爆炸性艺术场景中的关键人物。本书通过深思熟虑的文章和对艺术家的富有启发性的采访，探索了特瑞尔职业生涯的方方面面——从他早期的几何光线投影、版画和素描，到他探索感官剥夺和看似未调制的彩色光领域的装置，以及用全息图进行的二维实验。此外，本书还深入研究了罗登陨石坑，这是一项对亚利桑那州弗拉格斯塔夫附近风景的特定干预，通过模型、平面图、照片和图纸呈现。在这本内容广泛、美轮美奂的书中，读者会发现很多值得品味的东西，书中还特别收录了弗洛里安·霍尔泽尔（Florian Holzherr）委托拍摄的摄影作品。

英文简介：

This definitive 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 projecting shapes on a flat wall or into the corner of a gallery space, 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' 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--from his early geometric light projections, prints and drawings, through his installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, to 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 is 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 photography by Florian Holzherr.

As an undergraduate, James Turrell (born 1943) studied psychology and mathematics, transitioning to art only at MFA level. The recipient of several prestigious awards, including Guggenheim and MacArthur fellowships, Turrell lives in Arizona.
