Spectrum 14 by Charles Ross, Getty Center, Los Angeles, California
Spectrum 14 is a calibrated array of prisms that cast a dazzling display of luminous color across the Museumβs rotunda. Bands of spectral light traverse the space in relation to the sun, which follow a slightly different arc through the sky every day. Over time, Rossβs work changes in response to Earthβs rotational orbit, connecting us to the premodern experience of astronomical observation and calculation that defined cycles of days, seasons, and rituals.
