Aten Reign

Whitman recently acquired James Turrell’s Suite from Aten Reign (2014, detail pictured here), consisting of three aquatint etchings, 34.5 x 22” each. An expression of what Turrell calls the “thing-ness” of light, the prints are based on his spectacular Skylight installation designed specifically for the central rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2013.

The suite was published by Pace Editions, Inc. in an edition of 30, and is presently managed by Daniel Forbes and Kynde Kiefel at the Sheehan Gallery on the Whitman campus.
