The captivating light tubes of James Turrell, the sun-bathed lilies of Claude Monet, the reflective installations of Yayoi Kusama – these are artworks that we can hardly take our eyes off, and neither can our Australian institutions.
Following the success of James Turrell: A Retrospective at the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) in 2014 and Switched on: Light Show at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) in 2015, some of the world’s great masters of light art – and light inspired artworks – will finally illuminate Melbourne, as ACMI presents its own blockbuster version, Light: Works from Tate’s Collection from 15 June – 13 November 2022.
