We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to experience James Turrell's Tall Glass “SINGULARITY”, 2024 as a permanent installation in our gallery. In 2007, Häusler Contemporary showcased the «Tall Glass» as a European premiere, highlighting the series' introduction to Europe and its pioneering role in utilizing cutting-edge technology to redefine the boundaries of light-based art. With his «Tall Glass Series», James Turrell delves into the creation of a groundbreaking body of work that offers a visual and sensory experience of light in a conventional architectural context. These works represent a pinnacle of innovation, harnessing the latest LED technology to craft meticulously programmed experiences that were previously only achievable in larger installations by the artist. Each unique «Tall Glass» in this series captures the viewer's imagination by exploiting the mesmerizing effects of light on a two- dimensional surface. As one immerses oneself in this captivating interplay of light, the flat plane undergoes a remarkable transformation, evolving into an enigmatic depth that entraps the observer's gaze. True to James Turrell's distinctive artistic signature, the «Tall Glass» challenge and redefine the viewer's perceptions of light and space.

About Häusler Contemporary
Häusler Contemporary was founded in 1988 in Bregenz, Austria, by Wolfgang Häusler and Dr. Christa Häusler. In 1992, the company relocated to Munich, initially focusing on project work connecting art and commerce. Concurrently, Häusler Contemporary steadily expanded its gallery activities. In 2007, Häusler Contemporary Zurich opened with an exhibition by James Turrell, and in 2020, the gallery operation moved there. Häusler Contemporary Munich continues as an office for art sales and project management. In the art and architecture realm, we initiate and support high-profile commissioned works, including installations by James Turrell, Brigitte Kowanz, Hamish Fulton, and Keith Sonnier. James Turrell and Wolfgang Häusler have had a trusted collaboration for more than 30 years. The impressive diversity and dynamism of these projects have led us to focus our work on James Turrell as of September 2023. In addition to commissioned works currently in progress, Häusler Contemporary possesses a wide range of the artist's installative, sculptural, and graphic works, as well as two collections that reflect James Turrell's entire artistic development, from his early works to his latest Glass Series. Selected works by gallery artists such as David Reed, Gary Kuehn, Keith Sonnier, and others will continue to be part of Häusler Contemporary's portfolio for our customers.
