dan flavin

over the holidays, i was lucky enough to visit the mumok in vienna and the current artist on exhibition is dan flavin. he is  was a minimalist artist  who works worked with fluorescent lights. sounds kind of boring, right? but it's not really. it was actually very visually appealing. the part i found most interesting were that many of the installations were designed in the early 60's when flavin was first beginning. 


check out some of his other work here.

  1. WAS. Dan is no longer, unfortunately. RIP 1996. Great work though--and i suppose it can live forever. Ah, the afterlife! Either way, wish I caught the show in the Mumok. Jealous!
