Artists

Claude Monet, James Turrell, Walter De Maria

Claude Monet: Five paintings from the Water Lilies series produced by the great Impressionist painter Claude Monet in his later years can be enjoyed under natural light in the museum. The size of the room, its design, and the materials used all were carefully selected to unite the Monet paintings with the surrounding space.

Walter De Maria: The entire art space, containing a sphere 2.2 meters in diameter and 27 gilded wooden geometric forms, was created under the direction of Walter De Maria as an artwork. Viewers experience this space under the natural light coming in from the ceiling, producing dramatic changes in the room's illumination depending on the hour.

James Turrell: Light itself is presented as art in James Turrell's work. The three artworks on display were selected amongst Turrell’s representative series and span his entire career., enabling visitors to experience the changes in his work throughout the years. Open Sky (2004) is on view during the museum's regular opening hours, but a special sunset viewing, Night Program, is also available.
*Please visit the official website for more information on Night Program and the exhibition in general.
