Sprüth Magers is pleased to announce Locating Perception, the first presentation of work by Nancy Holt (1938–2014) at the Los Angeles gallery, and her first solo exhibition in LA since 1985, addressing the artist's consistent examination of how we attempt to understand our place in the world. Holt is one of the most important figures of earth, land, and conceptual art movements. An innovator of site-specific installation and the moving image, she recalibrated the limits of art, expanding the places where art could be found and embracing the new media of her time. Across five decades she investigated perception, systems and place.
