Robert Irwin (1928–2023) was one of the most eminent and influential post-war American artists, who, over the course of six decades, developed and refined what he terms “conditional” or “site-conditioned” art. His practice, which is often associated with the California-based Light and Space movement, encompassed painting and sculpture, installations, landscape projects, and interventions in public space. His actual medium was the viewer’s perception itself. The artist’s works dissolve conventional modes of reception to enable new forms of individual experience and an awareness of the aesthetic potential of our everyday surroundings.
