Robert Irwin (b. 1928, Long Beach, California), one of the pioneers of minimalist sculpture and installation art since the late 1960s, will produce a major new project for Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles, on view January 23 to April 21, 2018. In keeping with his experimental approach to light, space, and the phenomenological experience of the viewer, Irwin has re-imagined Sprüth Magers’ modernist interior as an immersive, site-conditioned installation. The gallery’s interior walls have been removed, exposing the large windows that surround the 5,000-square-foot exhibition space. Inside this glass box, a series of semi-transparent white scrims, each with spray-painted squares in a range of grayscale, offer viewers shifting glimpses of black paintings flanking one remaining wall. As one peers through the scrims, the paintings’ reflective surfaces accumulate and reflect light, creating a conversation between visual stimuli and viewers' perception of color, form, and space. On the gallery’s second floor, four of the artist's fluorescent light works surround a black scrim–an inversion of the dynamic at play on the floor below. Visible only in natural light, during daylight hours, Irwin’s installation will bring a focused presentation of his work back to Los Angeles for the first time since 2011.
