New York, David Zwirner, 05-11-2009, 19-12-2009. - Monografie toont een overzicht van de lichtsculpturen van de Amerikaanse kunstenaar Dan Flavin. - This monograph is published on the occasion of Dan Flavin the first exhibition of the artist's work at David Zwirner since the gallery announced its representation of the Estate of Dan Flavin. This publication will examine Flavin's use of progressions and serial structures, ideas that were central to the artist's practice throughout his career. Flavin has been credited (by Mel Bochner) with being "one of the first artists to make use of a basically progressional procedure", and the systematic arrangement of colour and light was an aspect of his work that not only led to it being characterized as Minimal art but which moreover influenced Conceptual artistic practices. The catalogue will feature a selection of exemplary work by the artist, ranging in date from 1963 to 1990
