會讓我精神沸騰的藝術家James Turrell有了新動向，多希望他能來台灣!!
是該創造機會讓他來的，讓國內觀眾一同感受那無與倫比的視覺與身體經驗
可以想像瞳孔、毛細孔以及呼吸頻率幾乎同時凝結的感動嗎?
一種屬於生命昇華的另一空間!!

Hess has been collecting works by James Turrell for the past 30 years and has commissioned two new installations for the museum in Colomé: Spread (2003), a 4,000-square-foot walk-in environment of blue light, and Unseen Blue (2002), the world's largest Skyspace. Other permanent works in the Hess Art Collection include Alta Green (1968), an early piece that demonstrates Turrell's first experiments with light and architecture, as well as Lunette (2005), a corridor whose interior has been punctuated by a vertical portal to the outside sky and filled with natural and warm white neon light. Additional site-specific works include Stufe (White), (1967), City of Arhirit (1976), Slant Range (1989) and Penumbra (1992).The permanent exhibition is supplemented by numerous drawings and prints. All works on display are drawn from the Hess Art Collection, Bern, Switzerland, in which James Turrell is represented with 22 pieces.
Donald Hess is one of the world's major collectors of contemporary art. His impressive collection spans five decades of recent art history from Abstract Expressionism through current positions. It contains over 1,000 pieces by 65 international artists including Magdalena Abakanowicz, Francis Bacon, Georg Baselitz, Gilbert & George, Franz Gertsch, Andy Goldsworthy, Robert Motherwell, Yue Minjun, Shigeo Toya, Gerhard Richter, Frank Stella, James Turrell and Ouattara Watts among others.
Beginning in 1989, Hess began sharing his passion for art with the greater public by exhibiting his collection in museums built on wineries owned by the Hess Family Estates. The first museum opened at the Hess Collection in Napa Valley, California, USA in 1989 and the second at Glen Carlou in Paarl, South Africa in 2006. The third and newest – The James Turrell Museum of the Hess Art Collection, opened on April 22, 2009, at Bodega & Estancia Colomé, in the Province of Salta in northwestern Argentina. A fourth museum is planned for the Peter Lehmann winery in the Barossa Valley, Australia. All are free of admission and offer guided tours.
James Turrell (*1943 in Los Angeles, California) is regarded as one of America's key post-war artists, and his work has been the subject of over 140 solo exhibitions worldwide since 1967. He belongs to the group of so-called "Light and Space" artists working in Los Angeles, California in the 1960s including, among others, Larry Bell and Robert Irwin. Turrell may also be placed alongside land artists of his time, such as Walter De Maria, Richard Long, Robert Smithson and Andy Goldsworthy, whose work deals with issues of temporality and who revolted against the notion of art as a commodity.
In addition to permanent installations at the Henry Art Gallery, Seattle and The Nasher Sculpture Garden, Dallas, permanent installations of James Turrell's work are on view in numerous museums and collections worldwide.
A newly updated, comprehensive catalogue of the Hess Art Collection will be published by Hatje Cantz in Autumn of 2009.
