FANTASY at LACMA
Dan Dailey installs his cast glass mural Fantasy at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, circa 1990.
Also in this video:
Video Flag Z 1986, by Nam June Paik (South Korea, 1932-2006).
Untitled (fondly to Margo) 1986, Dan Flavin (United States, 1933-1996).
Dan Dailey's achievement is in the seamless marriage he effects in his work in every medium between the idiosyncratic convolutions of his inner landscape and the classic harmony and lucidity of the great tradition in glass, of whom Daum, Nancy, and Lalique are giants. Dailey's work joins in that tradition, but with a contemporary spin that causes the viewer to smile in complicity.
