Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface takes an in-depth look at work by 13 artists whose perceptual investigations and innovative use of industrial materials helped define an era of art making in Southern California during the 1960s and 1970s.
Whether by directing the flow of natural light, embedding artificial light within objects or architecture, or playing with light through the use of reflective or translucent materials, these artists each created situations capable of stimulating heightened awareness in the viewer.
The artists featured in Phenomenal are Peter Alexander, Larry Bell, Ron Cooper, Mary Corse, Robert Irwin, Craig Kauffman, John McCracken, Bruce Nauman, Eric Orr, Helen Pashgian, James Turrell, De Wain Valentine, and Doug Wheeler.
