For the second “Rotunda Commission,” a series of art installations inspired by the Getty Museum’s collection, architecture, and site, American artist Charles Ross created a site-specific work centered on natural light, time, and planetary motion. Spectrum 14 is a calibrated array of prisms that casts luminous color across the Museum’s rotunda and evolves with the seasonal arc of the sun. In this conversation with curator Glenn Phillips, Ross talks about his storied career—from early collaborations with Judson Dance Theater, to engagements with the minimal and land art movements, to his decades-long work with light and prisms.
