Condition

This work is being sold from the catalogue. It is a site specific installation that requires a new certificate issued and a new set of equipment upon installation. A scan of the existing certificate issued to the seller is available upon request. Please note that when the purchaser buys the work from Sotheby's, Sotheby's will not be supplying equipment or a certificate. The certificate must be re-issued with the new buyer's information, and the equipment will be brought and installed by the Turrell Studio. The space where the new owner chooses to exhibit the work will dictate the installation specifications. The installation will need to be done by the James Turrell Studio, and associated costs will depend on the space where the work will be installed. These costs will be additional to the amount paid for the work to Sotheby's. Depending on where the work will be installed, there may be additional costs also for travel-related costs for the studio preparators.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.
