“Pink out of corner (to Jasper Johns)” is an installation artwork created by Dan Flavin in 1963. It is part of the Minimalism art movement and exemplifies the genre of installation art.
The artwork features an illuminated pink fluorescent light tube positioned vertically in the corner of a white-walled space. The light emits a soft, radiant pink glow that subtly interacts with the surrounding walls and floor, creating an atmospheric and ethereal effect. The simplicity and precision of the form, characteristic of Minimalist art, draw attention to the spatial and perceptual experience generated by the interaction of light and space. This work exemplifies Flavin’s pioneering use of industrial fluorescent lights as a medium in art, challenging traditional notions of what constitutes a work of art.
