Phase Two: Now Online
June 9th, 2008Phase Two of Flavin just went live on our web catalogue, reflecting the new images of the new artworks and colors now on view in the galleries. It’s here. We’re also finalizing the print version, which will be inserted into our current visitors brochure. Tiffany Bell wrote a great introduction for this insert, giving some background to the lamp changes:
“Serial production is a fundamental characteristic of Dan Flavin’s art. Not only did he make groups of works presented in a series, he had favored formats such as his “near-square cornered installations” and grid structures that he used throughout his career. By changing the colors of the lamps in these structures, he made very different works. In Phase 2 of Dan Flavin: Constructed Light, the colors have been changed in some of the installations on view to highlight this aspect of Flavin’s art and provide an alternative proposal for the integration of Flavin’s lights with Tadao Ando’s architecture.”
Here is one of Robert Pettus’ photos of Phase Two:
