Helen Pashgian: Spheres and Lenses is a luminous retrospective edited by curators Robert Dean and Christine Y. Kim, celebrating the visionary work of Helen Pashgian, a pioneering figure in the Light and Space movement. Through vivid color plates and authoritative essays, the book explores her transcendent sculptures—ranging from ethereal spheres to refractive lenses—that play with perception, light, and materiality. Anchoring Pashgian’s decades-long practice in both West Coast minimalism and sensory experience, this volume reveals how her elegant forms alter space and invite quiet contemplation. Spheres and Lenses is essential for collectors, students, and anyone captivated by perceptual art that blurs the boundaries between object and light.
