The
selection by Michael
Govan, Director, Dia
Center for the Arts,
New York, a
recognised expert on
the artist's work, has
been inspired by the
architecture of the
Serpentine Gallery
and will include a
range of seminal
pieces, from Flavin's
earliest installation,
the diagonal of May
25, 1963 (to
Constantin Brancusi),
1963, to examples
from his most
recognised and
sustained series,
"monuments" to V.
Tatlin, 1964-82.
The Serpentine Gallery is funded by
the London Arts Board and
Westminster City Council. The
remaining two thirds of its income is
raised through corporate sponsorship
as well as the support of individuals
and charitable organisations.
The Serpentine Gallery reopened in
February 1998 following a £4 million
renovation funded by the National
Lottery, through the Arts Council of
England, as well as a number of other
generous donations.
