Original aquatint on steel, signed in pencil by the artist. Presses du Jardin Ed., Nîmes. // Carn by James Turrell, created in 1988, is an aquatint etching that embodies the artist’s exploration of light, perception, and spatial ambiguity. The artwork presents a stark white, luminous rectangular form suspended against a dark, shadowy background, creating a minimalist yet powerful composition. The floating box-like shape appears to glow, drawing the viewer’s attention and creating a sense of depth and mystery. Turrell, known for his work with light and space, captures an almost metaphysical atmosphere, where the shape feels both tangible and ethereal. This limited edition print, signed by the artist, measures 76 x 56 cm, demonstrating Turrell’s ability to use minimal forms to evoke profound visual and emotional experiences.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
