It is certainly a bit much for a school to spend this much on an art project, however this should not end up being a dig on James Turrell.

He is a truly great landscape artist IMHO.

He purchased a meteor crater in Arizona that he is turning into an observatory akin to what the Aztecs or Incans might have had.

I saw an exhibit of his at LACMA that was amazing. I also visited one of his earthworks in Ireland near the town of Skibbereen. Truly beautiful.

James Turrell is this good! Then I hope he made a million from this deal aka art installation.
