Kanye’s Bromance with James Turrell Yields $10m Donation

Kanye West made no secret of his traipsing around America in December with artist James Turrell. They were at Turrell’s installation at Mass MoCA and visited the artist’s Roden Crater project. Today, the Wall Street Journal’s Kelly Crow has the news that West has donated $10m to Turrell’s massive project in Arizona:

  • “Mr. Turrell, who is 75 years old, is under pressure to finish his project after years of off-and-on funding. He recently teamed up with Arizona State University to raise $200 million to help complete his artistic projects at the site and also turn the 2.5-mile-wide crater into a creative campus with an amphitheater and residencies. Thus far $40 million has been raised. The goal is to open to the public in five years, the foundation said.”
