About

Gagosian is pleased to present two sculptures by Dan Flavin: untitled (to Barnett Newman) two (1971), and untitled (to Sabine and Holger) (1966–71). The dates of the exhibition overlap with those of exhibitions of work by John Chamberlain at 522 West 21st Street and Donald Judd at 555 West 24th Street.

Flavin used widely available fluorescent tube lights to radically alter and rearticulate the space shared by work and viewer while maintaining formal and material consistency from one project to the next. In doing so, he also circumvented the limitations imposed by handwrought armatures, as well as by pedestals and other conventional means of object display. In this way, Flavin—alongside his contemporaries including Carl Andre and Donald Judd—played a key role in directing the course of art making in the 1960s and 1970s toward the eradication of the artist’s hand.

In untitled (to Sabine and Holger), Flavin transforms the viewer’s experience through what artist Mel Bochner has characterized as “an acute awareness of the phenomenology of rooms.” The work both defines the intersection of the walls and masks the darkness of the receding corner. “I knew the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with,” Flavin explained, “by planting illusions of real light, electric light, at crucial junctures in the room’s composition.”
