Light Works: Dan Flavin and Robert Irwin

With the advent of Minimalism in the late 1960s, artists found that using light as a medium could challenge perception and be impersonal as well as emotionally engaging. This installation features one piece by Dan Flavin, which exemplifies the use of mass-produced fluorescent light. The second work, an untitled disc by Robert Irwin, typifies the interest in light and space. These two works complement an ongoing collection that gives another look at the diverse artistic approaches in the 1960s.
