Thomas Wilfred, Study in Depth, Op. 152, 1959

Visit Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) in Washington, DC to experience Thomas Wilfred's pioneering light artwork. Thomas Wilfred ((1889–1968) invented a new art form that was among the first successful fusions of modern art and technology more than 60 years ago. 

The exhibit features fifteen light compositions (lumia) shown together for the first time in nearly 50 years. Free admission.

Watch the segments of the Lumia sculptures at Yale University Art Gallery to preview the experience.
