Programme
De simples tubes fluorescents, Dan Flavin
An exhibition dedicated to Dan Flavin (1933-1996), a key figure of Minimal art and a pioneer in the use of light as a sculptural medium, via industrial fluorescent tubes. It brings together more than ten emblematic historical works as well as pieces from the “monument” for V. Tatlin series, developed between 1964 and 1990.
Visitors will be able to grasp the conceptual coherence of Flavin’s practice and the lasting influence he exerted on contemporary art. The exhibition also pays tribute to the thirtieth anniversary of the artist’s passing.
