{"title":"Robert Irwin","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Irwin is an American artist whose practice moved progressively away from the object toward the conditions of perception itself. Beginning with abstract painting in the 1950s, Irwin developed a sustained investigation into light, space, and the phenomenology of attention that placed him at the centre of the Light and Space movement in Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublications collected here document the exhibition history and critical reception of Irwin's work, including catalogues, printed matter, and ephemera through which his practice entered institutional and private circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bell-irwin-wheeler-tate-gallery-london-1970","title":"Larry Bell \/ Robert Irwin \/ Doug Wheeler — Tate Gallery, London, 1970","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal catalogue issued for the Tate Gallery exhibition \u003cem\u003eLarry Bell, Robert Irwin, Doug Wheeler\u003c\/em\u003e, held in London from 5–31 May 1970.

Bell’s coated glass constructions, Irwin’s perceptual environments, and Wheeler’s atmospheric interventions all moved attention away from the autonomous object toward the conditions of viewing itself. Michael Compton’s accompanying text framed the exhibition through thresholds of perception rather than traditional sculptural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue remains a concise document of that transition. Less a survey than a support structure: artist, image, essay, exhibition.
