About this work

These are two sheets of white paper. Pink and gold stripes cross the middle, each stripe about the width of a pencil. They’re drawn by hand, not painted. The lines look clean but a little shaky. This isn’t a drawing you hang on a wall. It’s a study for what Flavin later built with neon tubes. The colors feel bold, almost electric, but the paper stays plain. Check out Dan Flavin next.
