Información de la editorial

In making light his primary medium, Dan Flavin (19331996) established himself as one of the most innovative and significant artists of the minimalist movement. A new generation encountered Flavin s work through the critically acclaimed exhibition" "Dan Flavin: A Retrospective, which opened in October 2004 at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Dan Flavin: New Light includes essays that respond to this exhibition and to the renewed interest in Flavin s work and its place in 20th-century art.In this volume, six leading scholars of contemporary art consider the ambiguities and multiple resonances of Flavin s light works. Each addresses the ontological complexity of the workobject-based, yet situational, and painterly in its deployment of colored lightwithin the insistently sculptural world of minimalism. The book s contributors interpret this tension by exploring Flavin s early assemblages, the relationship of drawing to his installation practice, the specificity of his materials and their operation in actual space, and the openly ambivalent place of Flavin s work within the history of late modernism.
