Summary:

"Taking light as his primary medium, Dan Flavin (1933-1996) was one of the most innovative and significant artists of the minimalist movement. In Dan Flavin: New Light, six leading scholars of contemporary art consider the ambiguities and multiple resonances of Flavin's art. Each addresses the ontological complexity of the work - object-based, yet "situational," and painterly in its deployment of colored light - within 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 operation of the lamp as medium in actual space, and the openly ambivalent place of Flavin's work within the history of late modernism."--Jacket.
