Mapping Spaces: A Topological Survey of the Work by James Turrell
Signed by the artist, this mid-career survey of James Turrell’s work—published on the occasion of an exhibition at the Kunsthalle Basel in 1987—provides an overview of the artist’s career until then, including documentation of plans for his celebrated Land art project Roden Crater (1976–). It features a three-part section of plates that include color and black-and-white photographs and drawings for some of the artist’s early light and sky works; aerial surveying and mapping; and images and short texts related to Roden Crater. Several foldouts and architectural drawings reproduced on translucent drafting paper provide further context, as does a topographical map of the area around Roden Crater, presented in a pocket at the back of the book. An introduction by Jean-Christophe Ammann and essays by Craig Adcock, E. C. Krupp, and Mario Diacono further illuminate the artist’s practice.
