Ohne Titel (to Bob and Pat Rohm), 1970. Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, Germany.

Dan Flavin (April 1, 1933 – November 29, 1996) was an American minimalist sculptor who created sculptural objects and installations from commercially available fluorescent light fixtures. These works, which he called "icons", have been credited with helping to start the minimalist movement in 1963. Flavin's largest series was called "Monuments to V. Tatlin," a group of white works in homage to Russian constructivist sculptor Vladimir Tatlin. Flavin studied art history for a short time at the New School for Social Research, and drawing and painting at Columbia University. Flavin married artist Tracy Harris, at the Guggenheim Museum, in 1992. His work with light began with what he called "icons," a series of painted canvases accented with halogen light fixtures.
