In a body of work from 2018, artist Robert Irwin, an originator in the 1960s of the distinctive genre known as Light and Space art, did something simple but surprising: He switched off the lights in his art.

Artist Robert Irwin, who is known for his pioneering experimentations with light and space, will have his first solo exhibition with the Los Angeles–based gallery Kayne Griffin Corcoran in September, the same month he will turn 92 years old.
