グッゲンハイム美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (グッゲンハイム美術館Instagram)「#WorkoftheWeek: “I saw Times Square with its light and letters and I realized it was as beautiful and difficult to do as Japanese calligraphy.”—Chryssa Greek-born artist Chryssa moved to New York in 1954, finding inspiration in the spectacle of the advertising neon signs of Times Square. She began incorporating neon into her work in the early 1960s, and was one of the first artists to transform it from an advertising medium into fine art. For Chryssa, the illuminated signs were a perfect example of the intertwining of the vulgar and the visually poetic in U.S. popular culture. She engaged this quality in her neon works, which are illegible but often recall deconstructed letters. __ “Fragmented Signature” (1970), on view in #ArtisticLicense, is being exhibited at the Guggenheim Museum for the first time.
