“Raethro II Blue,” created by James Turrell in 1971, is an installation artwork that is part of the “Corner Shallow Spaces” series and belongs to the Light and Space art movement.
The artwork features a simple yet captivating design, consisting of a blue, triangular form that appears to float in a corner of a room. Utilizing light to create the illusion of depth, the blue shape seems to interact with the surrounding space, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of light, perception, and architecture. The overall ambiance created by the interplay of light and shadow emphasizes the delicate balance between visual phenomena and spatial experience, hallmarking Turrell’s exploration of light as an artistic medium.
