Light and Space, a movement originating in California in the 1960s, defined its art by its very experiential existence and usually consisted of ephemeral installations. Using a combination of installation photographs, comments by artists and critics, and language that captures the works' evocative nature without lapsing into meaningless jargon, Jan Butterfield focuses on ten key artists and through their work traces the development of Light and Space art from its early, experimental phase to its mature expressions and present acceptance in the form of major public commissions.
