Her return to California coincided with the aftermath of the Light and Space Movement, which emphasized the relationship between light, material, and perception. While not formally part of the movement, Albuquerque’s work engages similar concerns, expanding them to include cosmology, geological time, and humanity’s relationship to the universe. Her practice is particularly known for large-scale, site-specific installations created within the natural landscape, producing visual “maps” that can be read from above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eArtwork Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lita Albuquerque (b. 1946)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scarab Island\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithograph in colors on wove paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artist’s Proof (A.P.), aside from an edition of unknown size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed, dated, and numbered in pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19½ x 18¾ inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 x 22 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFramed Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31¾ x 23¾ x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFraming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floated and hinged to back mat from verso, under Plexiglas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall good appearance.
