Though Turrell is well-known for these skyspaces and other light-based installations, Roden Crater - "an extinct volcano the artist has been transforming into a celestial observatory" - is the (ongoing) culmination of his obsession with light and will be his lasting contribution. Tending, (Blue) offers a more easily accessible destination in Dallas's Arts District as well as the delights of the Nasher, a marvelous creation with a travertine and glass building by Renzo Piano and sculpture garden by Peter Walker.
