Dan Flavin (1933-1996) was an American minimalist artist famous for creating spectacular installations of commercial fluorescent tubes.

This remarkable book presents a comprehensive catalog of more than 750 luminous works by the artist. Presenting all of Flavin’s luminaries for the first time, it is the only publication to document the artist’s entire career. Flavin’s art has not been widely reproduced, and this definitive volume includes hundreds of images – featuring exquisite new photographs – of well-known works as well as many rarely seen and unknown works. Each luminous work is illustrated by a beautiful color reproduction and/or a graphic diagram. Comprehensive information on each work, including title, date, medium, dimensions, edition, exhibition history, bibliography and brief discussion, reveals new insights into the working methods of the artist and constitute an invaluable resource for students, scholars, dealers and collectors.
