Echoes & Evolutions: Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels
Sep 5 – Oct 25, 2025
Solo Exhibition
Sprüth Magers, New York
Holt/Smithson Foundation and Sprüth Magers are delighted to present Echoes & Evolutions: Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels, the first solo exhibition of the late artist (1938–2014) at the New York gallery. Holt’s large-scale earthwork Sun Tunnels is a landmark in the artist’s oeuvre and encapsulates her investigation of perception, systems, and site. Showcasing many previously unseen drawings, collages, photographs and two of her Studio Locator sculptures, this exhibition offers insight into the process and ideas behind the creation of Sun Tunnels.
