Dan Flavin: Works from Dia Art Foundation

Dan Flavin: Works from Dia Art Foundation is a focused exploration of American artist Dan Flavin’s practice during the period spanning 1962 to 1974. Flavin was a significant figure in American Minimalism despite his active rejection of the label. In 1963 he began establishing a simplified formal language based on interactions between light and space, which generated a system of material and conceptual parameters — or “situational” phenomenon — through which his works could exist. Using commercially available lamps and standard-issue fluorescent bulbs, the artist discovered a rich vocabulary of possibilities and infinite variations. The featured works encapsulate pivotal moments and key series in Flavin’s oeuvre, concurrently serving as a testament to the enduring relationship between the artist and Dia Art Foundation.
