The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has presented the exhibition 'Dan Flavin: Some Light', sponsored by Iberdrola, which explores the artistic career of American artist Dan Flavin (1933–1996), one of the great pioneers of Minimalism and of the use of light as a means of artistic expression.
Open to the public from 11 November 2026 to 4 April 2027, the exhibition brings together more than 20 works dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, from the Panza Collection at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and important loans from the Dia Art Foundation.
Curated by Lauren Hinkson, Curator of Collections at the New York museum, the exhibition traces the artist’s development, from his early experiments with white fluorescent tubes to his large-scale colour installations, which were capable of transforming entire spaces.
Highlights include greens crossing greens (to Piet Mondrian who lacked green) (1966) and artificial barrier of blue, red and blue fluorescent light (to Flavin Starbuck Judd) (1968).
The exhibition sponsorship reflects Iberdrola’s commitment to art and culture and forms part of the celebration of its 125th anniversary, under the slogan ‘125 light years’.
