Minimalist artist Dan Flavin (1933-96) is best known for his
brightly colored fluorescent light installations, which have
captivated art lovers for decades. But he was also an accomplished
draftsman, and this is the first book to fully explore the central
role that drawing played in Flavin's art.
Not only did Flavin produce numerous sketches for each of his light
installations, he also regularly drew outdoors, primarily
riverscapes and beach scenes. A number of those drawings are
included in this volume, as are a group of remarkable pastels of
sails, a subject he turned to when he was in his fifties. This book
also draws on Flavin's journals, in which he wrote about his
passion for drawing, which he called "an intensely concentrated
personal form of artistic relief." Yet despite the importance of
drawing in Flavin's life, his drawings are little known, in part
because he almost never sold--or even gave away--his drawings. Most
of the works reproduced here were never shown publicly and are
being published here for the first time.
Offering a surprising new angle on a major artist, "Dan Flavin:
Drawing" will surprise--and delight--his many fans.
