“Raethro II Peach,” crafted by the esteemed artist James Turrell in 1970, epitomizes the Light and Space art movement. This installation artwork belongs to the “Corner Shallow Spaces” series.
The artwork features a geometric composition that predominantly draws the viewer’s attention to an orange-colored shape set against a deep, purple background. The orange shape, seemingly floating, exhibits a glowing effect, emphasizing the interplay of light, perception, and spatial depth, which are hallmarks of Turrell’s oeuvre. The saturated hues and sharp contrast between the vibrant orange and the subdued purples create a striking visual impact, inviting observers to contemplate the nature of light and its influence on spatial perception.
