art seen: dan flavin at the morgan library & museum

dan flavin
untitled (in honor of harold joachim), 3. (1977).
at the morgan library, march 9, 2012

i had the clare eddy thaw gallery --- and this groovy dan flavin scultpure-- all to myself for many minutes on friday night. i was so excited, i took a few photos (and was sharply reprimanded afterwards. though, i didn't know i wasn't allowed).

it's a fun, entrancing piece. the lights seemed to change as i held my gaze -- it was especially true when i watched it through the camera. some colors grew bolder, then the intensity shifted. did it truly change or was it a trick of the eye? i don't know, but i liked it.

the sculpture will likely be up for the duration of the excellent "dan flavin: drawing" exhibition, which runs through july 1.
