Today, the Richard Levy Gallery in Albuquerque, N.M., will open two new exhibitions: “Urban Landscapes” by painter Richard Estes and “Aten Reign” by light installation artist James Turrell.
Richard Levy Gallery
"D-Train" by Richard Estes, 1988.
Known for his hyper-realistic works, Estes will display artwork featuring pristine urban settings. Though they are meant to represent reality, his depictions of cityscapes have an eery void of inhabitants. ​”Urban Landscapes” features two large-scale screen prints: “D-Train” and “Holland Hotel” (both shown above), as well as a selection of smaller screen prints and oil paintings.

"Aten Reign" by James Turrell, 2015.
“Aten Reign” (shown above) will display a print edition of the eponymous, 79-foot-tall, fabric and aluminum installation that was displayed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2013. “Turrell is a master at manipulating light so that it appears to take on a material quality, and that effect is fully expressed with ‘Aten Reign’ ” Aaron Seward wrote about the site-specific installation when it was displayed at the Guggenheim for ARCHITECT’s sister publication, Architectural Lighting. The video below explains the process for developing a print edition of the Guggenheim installation.
Both exhibitions will run through Feb. 26.
