Qatar Museums Gallery - Al Riwaq, Doha
October 2023
October 25, 2023—February 24, 2024 Dan Flavin | Donald Judd: Doha brings together for the first time in the MENA region artworks by two of the most innovative American artists of the late 20th century. Friends and interlocutors, Dan Flavin and Donald Judd met in New York in 1962, and their relationship was forged through their shared interest in the possibilities of colour, serial structures and industrial materials. During the heady years of artistic innovation in New York in the 1960s, as artists forged new paths in the wake of Abstract Expressionism, Flavin and Judd were key figures in the emergence of Minimalism— a label neither endorsed, but which fundamentally reshaped global culture.
Curated by Michael Govan and Jennifer King and organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in collaboration with Qatar Museums, the exhibition will feature works spanning the 1960s through the 1990s, drawn from the collection of Qatar Museums as well as other institutions, private collections, the Dan Flavin Estate and the Judd Foundation.
