See the light in Argentina

High up in the Andes, the first museum dedicated to Californian contemporary artist James Turrell opens at Argentina’s oldest winery today - be one of the first to enjoy this new museum in 2009 with a Bales Worldwide 11 day journey.

Perched at 7,600ft in the spectacular Argentine Andes, the Estancia y Bodega Colomé is Argentina's oldest winery. It is here where the world’s first museum dedicated solely to renowned Californian space and light artist James Turrell will open.

The interior gallery spaces at Colomé offer a unique combination of light, architecture and awe-inspiring views of the valley and mountains. Nine light installations and drawings and prints will be on display and two new pieces have been specially commissioned for the museum. Unseen Blue is the world’s largest Skyspace with a 15-foot aperture in the roof and Spread is a 4,000 square foot walk-in environment of blue light.
