Dan Flavin: A Retrospective
One of the most innovative figures in 20th-century art, Flavin used fluorescent light as his medium. He became a key exponent of minimalism in the early 1960s.

Flavin’s works, complex geometric forms in a series of dazzling colours, transformed the dramatic spaces of the Hayward Gallery, itself an icon of 1960s design. Including works spanning his career, from his early ‘icons’ and ‘monuments’ to corner pieces, corridors, barriers and large-scale installations. The exhibition presented more than 50 light works, as well as a selection of sketches, drawings, and early collage constructions, to explore Flavin’s practice.
