With Miracle Mile (2013) Robert Irwin (b. 1928) reconsiders the properties of light, material, and color. This site-specific work subtly plays with the architecture in which it is housed and respondseto both Wilshire Boulevard and Primal Palm Garden, an outdoor installation that Irwin created at LACMA in 2008.

A linear configuration composed of 66 fluorescent tubes,  Miracle Mile stretches to a length of approximately 36 feet and can be experienced from both within and beyond the gallery walls.

Photographed at the LA County Museum of Art in Los Angeles.
