This is one of my favorite Irwin installations
Robert Irwin has been one of the pivotal artists in American Art for more than 30 years both as a practitioner and a theoretician. Irwin began his career as an abstract expressionist; however, by the late 1960's he had moved away from painting to become one of the creators of the art of light and space, using ephemeral materials such as scrim, lighting and orientation to alter and heighten the viewers perception of the space in which they encountered his work. Since the early 80's Irwin has won an international reputation for his "site-generated" work in public spaces which often make intimate use of natural elements, plantings and topographic features.
Robert Irwin was one of my instructors at The Chouinard Art Institute in 1958/59. He opened my mind to a lot of things about art and life. A truly amazing man.

Love his work. Probably for exactly the same reason the people who don't like it, don't like it. What is the music here?
