Almine Rech in New York is to present a new solo exhibition by James Turrell, the artist’s thirteenth with the gallery in more than three decades of working together. The show opens on 12 November 2026 and runs until 30 January 2027, featuring more than fifteen works.

The presentation will include a new Shallow Space work, alongside new pieces from the Glassworks series and a new Cross Corner work. Turrell’s Shallow Space installations use precisely controlled light to dissolve the edges of a room, while the Glassworks series plays with the way light passes through and is held by glass, and the Cross Corner works shape perception through light projected into the meeting point of two walls. The new Glassworks pieces continue his long investigation into how glass can hold and colour light, while the Cross Corner work uses the angle of the room itself as a frame for what the eye sees.

The relationship between the artist and the gallery stretches back to 1989, when Almine Rech organised Turrell’s first gallery exhibition in Europe in Paris, presenting a Light Piece titled “Blood Lust”. That long association has made the gallery one of the principal venues for Turrell’s work outside the museum context.

Turrell has spent six decades working with light as his primary material, building installations that alter how a space is perceived and how long a viewer stays with it. The New York show continues that project at a moment when his work is also reaching new audiences through large-scale institutional projects, offering a concentrated encounter with the most recent developments in his practice.
