More from Robert Irwin on Gallop

Bringing together 8 new sculptural works, this exhibition is Irwin’s nineteenth with Pace, where he first exhibited in 1966. Irwin’s new work consists of six-foot unlit fluorescent fixtures, vertically installed in rows adhered to the wall. Colored by translucent gels, they generate a range of hues and surfaces that are at once tangible and illusive, rendering the physicality of the wall as a rippled mirage.

Widely recognized as a pivotal figure in contemporary art, Irwin’s practice has consistently invented new ways of extending one’s perception of the surrounding world.

Robert Irwin is among the most significant American artists and theoreticians working today and is renowned for his innovative site-conditioned artworks that explore the effects of light through interventions in space and architecture.
