Untitled (to Jörg Schellmann), 1994

Daylight and warm white fluorescent light, 234 x 61 x 20 cm (92 x 24 x 8 in), edition of 5 (only 3 made), signed and numbered on certificate.

Jörg Schellmann made several attempts to convince Dan Flavin to create a fluorescent light work as an edition, but without success. Flavin refused to produce light works in larger editions than his usual 3 to 5 copies, as these were considered originals in the art world, not editions. When Schellmann realized this, he asked Flavin to create a complete edition of 3 or 5 copies for Schellmann Art – and thus obtained his "edition".
