Nancy Holt: Mirrors of Light

Nov 26, 2021 – Jan 27, 2022
Solo Exhibition

Holt/Smithson Foundation and Sprüth Magers are delighted to announce the first solo exhibition by Nancy Holt at the Berlin gallery, featuring her iconic installation, Mirrors of Light I (1974). Throughout her practice, Holt was interested in the use of light as a medium, while simultaneously examining it as subject matter in its own right. In this installation, light is a conceptual entity and a physical reality, a practical resource and an aesthetic object. As is the case with the majority of Holt's oeuvre, Mirrors of Light I creates an opportunity for self-examination through the perceptions that arise in the face of her work.
