Features and Remarks
From the early 1960s, he developed an artistic "system": coloured neon tubes became his main medium - he arranged the linear objects in the respective context of the architecture to create expansive light installations. Light and colour detach themselves from their support.The reference to architecture is also very pronounced in his graphic work. In his drawings, he develops a kind of spatial note in shorthand style; in his graphics, he prefers the series, i.e. several corresponding colour surfaces whose interplay can only be fully experienced in their spatial arrangement.
Colour is light
This 2-part serigraph from 1986 is dedicated to the Dutch master printer Rento Brattinga. He printed the series, limited to 40 pairs, in his world-renowned Steendrukkerij Amsterdam.
„Colour is omnipresent on the set of two large-format screen prints. White, pink, red, yellow, blue and green - the palette and order of the colours on both sheets match. At first glance, however, they appear to be monochrome green and white. The other colours appear as narrow stripes at the upper edge of the sheet and are reminiscent of the vibrations of the commercially available fluorescent tubes that Flavin first integrated into his installations in 1963.“
Sjusanna Eremjan, Kunsthalle Hamburg
Copies of this valuable edition can be found in the collections of the Kunsthalle Hamburg and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, for example.
The two hand-signed screen prints are in very good overall condition and are mounted ready to hang in light-coloured wooden frames.
„One might not think of light as a matter of fact, but I do. And it is, as I said, as plain and open and direct an art as you will ever find.“

Dan Flavin wurde 1933 in Jamaica, New York City, geboren und verstarb 1996 in Riverhead, New York, USA. Schon als Kind künstlerisch begabt, studierte Flavin 1956 Kunst und Kunstgeschichte an der New School for Social Research sowie von 1957 bis 1959 an der Columbia University in New York und belegte Kurse an der 'Hans Hoffman School of Fine Arts“. Anschließend arbeitete er für kurze Zeit an verschiedenen New Yorker Museen. 1961 präsentierte Flavin erstmals Installationen, die das elektrische Licht einbezogen. Er spezialisierte sich auf die Arbeit mit Leuchtstoffröhren und zeigte ab 1963 ausschließlich Lichtkunst, oft in thematischen Serien, die unter dem Aspekt der Raumwahrnehmung standen und in vielen Fällen bestimmten Personen gewidmet waren. Die Besonderheit der Flavinschen Kunst ließ den Betrachter selbst zur Kunst werden, indem das Licht Farbe seiner Haut und seiner Kleidung veränderte. In den folgenden Jahren entwickelte Flavin seinen Stil weiter und wurde zu einem bekannten Künstler des Minimalismus. Er nahm an zahlreichen Ausstellungen teil, wie etwa an der 4. documenta 1968 und an der documenta 6, 1977 in Kassel.
