The exhibition will feature 44 works representing the artist's use of fluorescent light. These range from the simple to the complex, including six large-scale installations that articulate architectural space. The show will include the artist's early "icons," his celebrated series of "monuments" to V. Tatlin, corner pieces, and works that take the form of corridors and free-standing "barriers." Several galleries will be especially designed for installation pieces, which will demonstrate the expanding scale of Flavin's work. In addition, sketches, drawings, and early collage-constructions will reveal the development of Flavin's ideas and working process.
