Dan Flavin (1933 – 1996) – untitled (for Fredericka and Ian) 3
An exhibition dedicated to the work of Dan Flavin (1933-1996), one of the leading exponents of minimalism and a pioneer of installation art, runs at Ordovas at Saville Row in London until April 25. The chronological show begins with an installation entitled four red horizontals (to Sonia). It was conceived in 1963, the pivotal year when Flavin first started using his signature fluorescent light bulbs, turning an everyday object into a work of art and exploring the ways in which light sculpts space. At Ordovas there is work from the 1960’s, ’70’s and ’80’s.
