Doug Wheeler

Doug Wheeler is an American artist associated with the Light and Space movement, known for his immersive atmospheric environments in which light, sound, and space are used to dissolve the boundaries of the room and the limits of perception. His installations create conditions of sensory suspension rather than objects for contemplation.

Publications collected here document the exhibition history and critical reception of Wheeler's work, including catalogues, printed matter, and ephemera through which his practice entered institutional and private circulation.
