Artwork Description |Robert Irwin, one ofthe most pivotal and influential artists working in the United<br />
States today, began as apainter in the 1950s. Throughout the 1960s his<br />
methodical reduction of signs in painting led to his ‘breaking of the frame’ of<br />
painting and objects. As one of the pioneers ofthe ‘Light and Space’ movement<br />
in Los Angeles in the 1970s and early 1980s, Irwin’s innovative experiments<br />
moved him towards adirect exploration ofaesthetic perception as the fundamental<br />
feature ofart.<br />
All That Jazz (2011) is an experiment with the perceptual qualities of light, playing<br />
with rhythm, texture, densities, temperature, and chromatic relationships. The<br />
light tubes reflect one another, and the spaces between the light tubes allow<br />
the two adjacent colors torefract, resulting in avast range ofhues.<br />
Irwin was the first artist to receive the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur<br />
‘Genius’ Grant (1984). He has been represented by The Pace Gallery since<br />
1966.<br />
