But if you think of art in terms of a transformation of materials, Flavin's transformation of the fluorescent fixture into art becomes magical. There were three 10-bulb chandeliers that were not lit during most meals, and eight four-bulb, fluorescent fixtures designed to hold four tubes. From blank, flesh-colored center in the 1962 work to the "blankness" of a standard fluorescent fixture in 1963, the distilled and abstracted icon is now installed in a corner--a charged position for the Russian abstractionists Tatlin and Malevich, whom Flavin was studying and who both positioned works in the corner, where domestic religious icons had always hung. |
