Summary:

"This publication examines Flavin's use of progressions and serial structures, ideas that were central to the artist's practice throughout his career. Flavin has been credited (by Mel Bochner) with being 'one of the first artists to make use of a basically progressional procedure,' and the systematic arrangement of color and light was an aspect of his work that not only led to it being characterized as Minimal art but which moreover influenced Conceptual artistic practices. The catalogue will feature a selection of exemplary work by the artist, ranging in date from 1963 to 1990."--publisher's statement.
