About Munson Blue

“Munson Blue” is an artwork by James Turrell, created in 1968. It belongs to the Light and Space art movement and is characterized as an installation. The piece is part of Turrell’s “Projection Pieces” series.

The artwork depicts a room with minimalistic elements, featuring a blue light projection that creates an illusion of three-dimensional space. The illuminated blue shape appears to emerge from the corner of the room, playing with the viewer’s perception of light and form. The room itself is darkened, allowing the intensity and precision of the blue light to take center stage. This piece exemplifies Turrell’s exploration of light as a medium, inviting viewers to engage with the spatial and perceptual experiences it generates.
