Dan Flavin

Fluorescent light grids by Dan Flavin from 1976 onward, exploring chromatic intensity and spatial transformation through corner installations.

Why go

The first focused exhibition of Flavin's grid works—a concentrated body he called among his most intense—recreates significant historical installations including a 24-foot spanning work from his 1987 Castelli show, now reassembled for the first time since.

What to expect

Corner-mounted fluorescent grid installations in varying color combinations (pink, green, yellow, blue), with vertical and horizontal fixtures projecting light outward and inward; works range from eight-foot squares to four-foot suspended versions, with loans from major museums including the Guggenheim and SFMOMA.

Things to know

• Flavin began the grid series in 1976, growing from his late-1960s cornered squares.
• First focused examination of this form, featuring recreations of installations from Flavin's lifetime exhibitions.
• Includes loans from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Princeton University Art Museum, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
• First solo exhibition of Flavin's work in Greater China; a version showed at David Zwirner New York in January–February 2026.
• Grids use commercially available fluorescent lamps to redefine architectural space through optical color mixing and shadow play.
• Curator Michael Govan selected these works as among Flavin's most intense and concentrated light constructions.
