The Guggenheim between June 21 and September 25, 2013 will be the first New York museum to exhibit the works of James Turrell. The exhibition offers an overview on the work of the artist from 1980 to the present, showing his pioneering experiments made of space, light and color. Turrell created especially for this occasion Aten Reign.
Aten Reign is a new great project that revisits the spaces of the rotunda of the Guggenheim, reinventing the iconic architecture of the designer Frank Llloyd Wright. The natural and graceful curves of this structure are filled and re-created with the use of natural and artificial lights in motion. Turrell wants to propose a new experience to visitors that are redirected according to an ascending movement, from top to bottom.

The exhibition, simply titled James Turrell, is part of a series of three retrospective exhibitions that in the summer of 2013 simultaneous will embrace the American territory and will be hosted, as well as from the Guggenheim in New York, by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
