Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. A retrospective of the preeminent Greek-born American artist, who was a pioneer in the use of neon in the realm of fine art. Prolific multimedia artist Stephen Antonakos (1926â"2013) is best known for his resplendent abstract neon sculpturesâ"instantly recognizable for their vibrant colors and crisp geometry. Along with well-known artists Lucio Fontana, Bruce Nauman, Keith Sonnier, and his compatriot Chryssa, Antonakos brought new perceptual and formal possibilities to the medium of neon. This comprehensive book comprises Antonakosâs diverse output of neon, canvases, drawings, travel collages, chapels, and gold works, all of which reflect an abiding concern with illumination, incomplete geometric shapes, and an almost mystical spirituality that is manifest throughout his oeuvre, from his overtly religious pieces to his playful assembled collages from his trips to Greece. His later works feature neon lights placed behind painted or gold-leaf panels, often bathing the surfaces and the surrounding space in gold halos like Byzantine icons, a tradition that has long fascinated this extraordinary artist. Author David Ebony provides research on Antonakos as a central figure in the international avant-garde of the 1960s and â70s. He also discusses the artistâs Greek heritage and legacy, as well as the spiritual and mystical aspects of his later works.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This lavish new monograph is the most comprehensive overview of Greek-born New York artist Stephen Antonakos (1926-2013) to date. Best known for his geometric spatial work with neon -- and one of the most prolific artists of his generation to come to prominance in the '60s -- Antonakos is here seen in the full range of his inventions, from the strictly formal to the spiritual. Throughout the book, his radical, unique use of neon for its own physical and affective qualities, not for images or words, is manifest. David Ebony's deeply felt essay explores the relationship of his work to the art of his time, as well as its cultural connections to historical antecedents and inspirations. Ebony considers Antonakos's work within the context of avant-garde artists from the Constructivist period to those who work with similarly experimental media or shared related visions of geometry's potential and significance. For the first time, readers have access to hundreds of full-color reproductions clearly organized into sequential sections, according to when Antonakos started each new genre -- from neon installations, panels, canvases, Chapels and many of his more than fifty-five architecturally scaled public works worldwide -- to his conceptual time-based Packages, Travel Collages, Artist's Books, Gold Works, drawings, and much more. Throughout, the central importance of the placement of forms and elements in relation to their sites is clear. The quality is especially evident in the book's final, graceful series of images of The Search, one of Antonakos's last major installations in Greece. The book's illlustrated chronology highlights the artist's professional and personal life through to the present, as does its extensive documentary material.
