James Turrell — Untitled (XIXID)
James Turrell

Untitled (XIXID)

2006

Untitled (XIXID) presents light itself as both subject and material, suspending the viewer before a holographic field that seems to breathe with interior luminosity. Created in 2006, this intimate work measures 58.4 × 41.6 centimeters, yet its spatial presence extends well beyond its physical boundaries, collapsing the distinction between surface and depth in a manner that rewards sustained looking. The holographic medium allows Turrell to engineer perception directly, guiding the eye into registers of color and luminance that shift with the slightest movement of the viewer, making each encounter with the work genuinely unrepeatable. James Turrell has spent decades dismantling the assumption that light is merely a condition for seeing art rather than its substance, and this signed work on paper distills that inquiry into a format suited to the private collection. Holographic images occupy a singular position within his broader practice, bridging the monumental experiential architecture of his Skyspaces and Ganzfelds with something that can be held, studied, and lived with daily. The work carries the conceptual weight of a larger installation while retaining an intimacy that invites a different quality of attention, one that is contemplative and cumulative over time. For collectors drawn to art that evolves alongside their own perception, Untitled (XIXID) represents a rare opportunity to acquire a work that functions as both a rigorous conceptual statement and a quietly transformative presence in domestic or institutional space. Currently offered without a frame, the piece allows for considered presentation decisions tailored to a specific setting, and the artist's signature affirms its place within the documented body of Turrell's multidisciplinary output.
