Robert Irwin: the Beauty of Questions documentary
Filmed over a five-year period, Robert Irwin: The Beauty of Questions follows Irwin from Paris to New York to LA, and from the desert to the racetrack (where for a long time he made his living).

It spans the artist's entire aesthetic journey from his beginnings in the forties, through his years as a painter, and then out of traditional art spaces into the world at large, where he presently stakes his ambitious projects in the most public of settings.

Currently on view at our 6 Burlington Gardens location the exhibition features two new site-specific installations displayed on the gallery’s ground and first floors. Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow & Blue³ III, occupies the entire space of the ground floor of the gallery and features three aluminium black and coloured panels suspended from the ceiling that mirror three identical panels hovering over the floor, suspending the viewer in a real time-space experience.

Piccadilly, installed on the first floor of the gallery, experiments with the perceptual qualities of light, playing with rhythm, texture, densities, temperature, and chromatic relationships. The piece is made of forty-seven green and white fluorescent tubes mounted in vertical groupings on the wall and is an obvious reference to London’s illuminated road junction at Piccadilly Circus. Different to some of his other works that use fluorescent lights and feature changes of colour and rhythm, the light source of these sculptures will keep the same state for the duration of the exhibition.
