'Robert Irwin: A Desert of Pure Feeling,' a new documentary premiering at DOC NYC, chronicles the long, often unlikely career of the 94-year-old artist.
In 2016, the Chinati Foundation in the remote West Texas desert town of Marfa opened “untitled ,” a massive permanent installation by Southern California artist Robert Irwin, the leading figure of the movement known as Light and Space art. Emerging into its full glory in Los Angeles in the 1960s and early 1970s, and taking varied forms in paintings, sculptures and environments, Light and Space stands as the region’s first wholly original contribution to the history of art.
Time is embodied in the gentle movement of light through interior rooms and across the landscape, as low and billowy clouds drift by. Irwin compares the scene to 17th “You don’t try to top Mother Nature,” Irwin interjects about site-determined art. “You invite her in.” A full exposition of the Marfa piece might have better opened the film, rather than attempting to unveil it at the end as a crowning achievement. The path to get there is long and slow, when it needs to be foreshadowed. Connections among clearly related works from different decades — “untitled ” with “Varese Portal Room” in Italy and “Window Wall for Cal State Long Beach” , for example — are more glancingly implied than examined.
