QM Gallery – Al Riwaq hosts an exhibition of the work of Dan Flavin (1933–1996) and Donald Judd (1928–1994), two of the most influential figures of Minimalism, who met in 1962 in New York. The exhibition focuses on their shared engagement with material, colour, and form and is the first major museum presentation to consider their artistic dialogue in nearly two decades.
Organised by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in collaboration with Qatar Museums, this exhibition features two of the most influential figures of Minimalism.
