An Iconostasis for Icons III and IV

This drawing depicts two pieces from a series of works entitled Icons, which were hand-crafted by the artist in the early 1960s. Made of painted wood and incorporating incandescent or fluorescent light, these pieces were early explorations of light, and show Flavin's concern with placement and composition in his large-scale installations of fluorescent lights. The drawing is signed on all four edges, indicating that the works could be viewed from any side.
