Dan Flavin Review in ARTnews, November 2008
In 1986 while visiting the Los Angeles artists' workshop, Gemini G.E.L., Dan Flavin explored luminous color fields on a variety of handmade papers. The resulting set of seven prints, entitled (to Don Judd, colorist) 1-7, is dedicated to his good friend and fellow artist. It features saturated hues of red, pink, yellow, orange, blue, green, and red-violet, all evocative of the fluorescent colors Flavin utilized throughout his career. Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to have a rare full set of (to Don Judd, colorist) 1-7 on view from September 12 - October 18, 2008. The gallery will also have a Flavin fluorescent light piece dating from 1966-1976 and a posthumously-published set of prints highlighting ten famous Flavin installations from 1963-1995.
