“My icons do not raise up the blessed savior in elaborate cathedrals,” the artist Dan Flavin (1933–1996) once said. “They are constructed concentrations celebrating barren rooms. They bring a limited light.” Flavin made art out of long fluorescent bulbs, installations that he liked to call “situations.” The light he creates sometimes has color, sometimes not. It is both intense and diffuse. His work imbues a space with a touch of transcendence. It highlights the powerful beauty of simplicity. Flavin began his career under the influence of Abstract Expressionism, but soon founded himself fascinated by electric light and its expressive possibilities. Corridors, corners, barriers, and monuments became his lexicon of form, and his visual vocabulary was the light spectrum of red, pink, green, blue, yellow, cool white, daylight, warm white, and soft white. This exhibition celebrates Flavin, whom it calls a “key figure of Minimalism.” —Elena Clavarino
