Press Release
The Drawing Room is pleased to present six iconic neon wall sculptures and ten related drawings by Stephen Antonakos (1926-2013) in the gallery’s fourth solo exhibition of the artist’s work. Renowned for his pioneering use of neon as well as a distinctive body of drawings that parallel his sculptural explorations, Antonakos’ practice expanded the language of form, materiality and the intangible in luminous abstractions that are at once rigorous and ebullient. All of the works on view date between 1973 and 1977, spanning a pivotal period in the artist’s six-decade career.
