Created in 1987, it is also a touching dedication to his long-time friend and fellow Minimalist progenitor Donald Judd Flavin exclusively used fluorescent lighting as a medium in his mature works, echoing the propensity for industrial, mass produced materials that characterised the influential sculptures and writings of preeminent artists such as Carl Andre Sol LeWitt and of course Judd. By using fluorescent bulbs, Flavin extended the scope of his media beyond that of his contemporaries - light transcends the material constraints of physical substances, becoming an immaterial yet prevailing medium in itself that could saturate its environment and illuminate its audiences. This sculpture is liberated it from the materiality, gestures, symbols and allusions that demarcated the Abstract Expressionist and Surrealist movements of previous generations. Any wall on which Untitled (to Don Judd colorist) 5 is installed immediately dissolves into the effulgent aura of pink and green that emanates from the beaming light fittings, causing the work’s setting and substance to fuse as one. As the viewer approaches, they too become enveloped by the work’s lambent atmosphere, entering into it as both spectator and component. The bulbs themselves are arranged in a manner that introduces a rigid geometry to the composition, with the vertical green bars and cruciform pink atop them. However, the way that the light bleeds from one colour to the other between these forms disrupts this rigidity, as does the involvement of the viewer, blurring the boundaries of the artwork itself. In Untitled (to Don Judd colorist) 5, Flavin has use
