Since the early 1960s, James Turrell has used light and space as his primary mediums. His site-specific artworks, from the ambitious and on-going "Roden Crater," a natural cinder volcano situated in the Arizona desert which Turrell is transforming into a naked-eye observatory, to his "Skyspace" series, make manifest the physical presence of light and heighten the viewer's visual perception. This unique, limited edition, case-bound publication, signed by the artist, printed on archival paper, and with 14 individual color plates suitable for framing, provides an overview of both of these projects as well as Turrell's room-size light works in which forms seem to float in air and spaces gradually fill with mysterious light. The color and materials used to fabricate "James Turrell: Infinite Light" reflect the natural texture and palette of Roden Crater, and iconic symbols related to the crater's underground chambers are embossed and die-cut into the folios of each section. Essays by Robert E. Knight, Debra L. Hopkins, Valerie Vadala Homer.  11.5 x 11.5 in. 46 color illustrations Signed by James Turrell in an edition of 250

HairStories explores the history, style, and meaning of black hair as seen through the eyes of three generations of African American artists. Showcasing more than 60 works by 27 artists, it spans nearly a century of visual art, pop culture, music, and literature, considering hair as a reflection of history, identity, and race relations in America, from the days of segregation to today. Historical works by artist Jacob Lawrence andphotographer James VanDerZee provide a chronological introduction, followed by key works by internationally recognized contemporary artists such as David Hammons, Alison Saar, and Lorna Simpson, and recent works by pivotal emerging artists including Mark Bradford and Kori Newkirk. Essays consider the syndrome of "good hair" versus "bad hair;" the importance of the barbershop and beauty salon as a center of the African American community; the social and political symbolism of hairstyles; and hair as an expression of individuality.
