David Zwirner is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by Dan Flavin (1933–1996) featuring the artist’s grids, a key body of work that he began in 1976. As curator Michael Govan observes, the grids count “among the most intense and concentrated of Flavin’s lights.” Constituting one of the artist’s most complex and nuanced chromatic investigations, these constructions are composed of an equal number of vertical fixtures facing backwards and horizontal fixtures facing forwards in varying color combinations. Situated in the corner of a room, they simultaneously project a blend of colors outward towards the viewer and inward into the corner, highlighting the architectural conditions of the space. A version of this exhibition—the first focused examination of this form—was on view at David Zwirner New York in January–February 2026 and the presentation in Hong Kong will include several re-creations of the way in which Flavin installed the grids in significant exhibitions held during his lifetime.
