“…One factor that—intuitively—would be expected to play a fundamental role in art perception, is the lighting of art itself. As a visual species, and certainly since the inception of civilization, lighting has been a key aspect of human life (Werth et al, 2013). Lighting may spotlight and guide our attention.…”

Does Gallery Lighting Really Have an Impact on Appreciation of Art? An Ecologically Valid Study of Lighting Changes and the Assessment and Emotional Experience With Representational and Abstract Paintings

We report two studies considering the potential for gallery lighting conditions to modulate appraisals and emotional experience with works of visual art. As recently documented in a number of papers, art appreciation represents a complex blend of formal artwork factors, personalities and backgrounds of viewers, and multiple aspects of context regarding where and how art is experienced. Among the latter, lighting would be expected to play a fundamental role. However, surprisingly, this has received little empirical assessment, with almost no ecologically valid gallery analyses and no between-participant designs which would minimize awareness of lighting changes themselves. Here, we employed a controlled paradigm using a spontaneous art viewing context, a gallery-like setting, and a proprietary lighting system which allowed the minute adjustment of lighting intensity/temperature (CCT). Participants viewed a selection of original representational and abstract art under three different CCT conditions (Study 1), modulated between participants, and then reported on their artwork appraisal and emotional experience. The selected lighting temperatures were chosen based on an initial investigation of existing art museums within the Vienna area, addressing how these institutions themselves light their art—a question which, also somewhat surprisingly, has not often been considered. We also allowed the same participants to set the light temperature themselves in order to test hypotheses regarding what might be an ‘ideal’ lighting condition for art. In Study 2, we explored the question of whether artworks made by an artist to match specific lighting conditions show a resulting connection to the ratings of viewers when shown in the same or different light. Results showed almost no effects from lighting changes in both studies. Viewers’ self-set light temperature (mean = 3777 K) did roughly coincide with the suggested most enjoyable conditions for everyday living and some past research on art viewing, but again showed wide interpersonal variance. Results, and a general review of lighting factors are considered in order to provide art researchers and curators with a tool for conducting future study.

“…In der Bauphysik ist der Begriff des Lichtmanagements gefestigt, welcher eine gezielte Anpassung von Raumbeleuchtungseigenschaften wie Beleuchtungsstärke und Lichtfarbe an Nutzerpräferenzen und Wirkungsabsichten umfasst (Rea und Figueiro 2018;Werth et al 2013).…”

“…Die erzeugte emotionale Wirkung durch Lichtverhältnisse resultiert auch aus einem Abgleich von Erwartungen seitens der RezipientInnen (Lin et al 2017;Werth et al 2013). Entsprechend ist bereits in der Veranstaltungsplanung zu berücksichtigen, welche Beleuchtungssettings aus physiologischer, psychologischer sowie aus der Teilnehmererwartung heraus für die jeweiligen Elemente eines Events geeignet sind.…”

“…It is the most common form of glare from lighting [3] and can cause eyestrain and other forms of discomfort such as neck-and backache [4,5]. It has also been found that discomfort glare can adversely affect mood and wellbeing [6]. Depending on lighting conditions, the visual task and individual sensitivity of observers, symptoms typically include irritation (e.g.…”

Lighting can affect the health of people in buildings. This goes beyond the safety aspects of providing enough illumination to see by; lighting affects mood and human circadian rhythms, while poor lighting can cause glare, headaches, eyestrain, aches and pains associated with poor body posture or, in extreme cases, skin conditions and various types of sight loss. These aspects ought to be considered by designers and building owners and occupiers in order to improve the lit environment and use adequate lighting and lighting controls that meet the recommendations of codes and standards. Various types of lighting can have different impacts depending on their spectral, optical and electrical characteristics. This paper discusses potential impacts of LED lighting on human health, and is based on a recent BRE review of research investigating the most typical effects of lighting on human health.
