About the Item

Post-Modern totem blue neon light designed by Rudi Stern and Dan Chelsea for the New-York gallery Let There Be Neon in 1983, with lighting elements provided by George Kovacs. The central column in brushed stainless steel is four inches wide and offset at a 45 degree angle from the base. Let There Be Neon gallerie was instrumental in the proliferation of neon as an artform in the 1970s and 1980s, with commissioned work for Nam June Paik, Jeff Koons and Keith Haring, to name a few. The lamp has been fully cleaned and restored, rewired, and is in a beautiful vintage condition.
