Neon

Striking, garish and loud: These are the attributes of neon colours, which, with their radiance, have become indispensable to everyday life. Whether in advertising, fashion or road traffic; it is difficult to resist the tremendous power of attraction of these luminous colours. Shortly after they were invented in the 1960s, the first abstract artists already began experimenting with the effects of day-glow paint and neon-coloured Plexiglas. Brought together in this catalogue are paintings, sculptures, installations and photographs by Sylvie Fleury, Rupprecht Geiger, Katharina Grosse, Anselm Reyle and many other artists.
