In the late 1920s, artist and inventor Thomas Wilfred developed innovative “lumia instruments,” time-based artworks which dazzled and mesmerized viewers. Wilfred spoke of light as a formal art and created some of the first successful fusions of modern art and technology. Over time, his complex designs proved hard to maintain and preserve, requiring extensive care. In this conversation between collectors Eugene, Carol, and A.J. Epstein with Getty curator Jim Ganz, discover the fascinating history of these instruments and how the Epsteins maintain their wonder for future generations.
Complements the exhibition Abstracted Light: Experimental Photography.
