Yellow is the Color of my Dead Bird's Tail, Neon Sculpture by William Landwehr

circa 1980

This is a unique neon sculpture in plexi-box with stand. It is the very first completed Neon Sculpture by the famed sculptor and referenced in the monograph "Chryssa" by Pierre Restany. Chryssa, a Greek-born American sculptor who in the 1960s was one of the first people to transform neon lighting from an advertising vehicle into a fine art medium. A builder of large-scale assemblages in a wide range of materials — bronze, aluminum, plaster, wood, canvas, paint, found objects and, in the case of neon, light itself — Chryssa, whose work prefigured Minimalism and Pop Art, was considered a significant presence on the American art scene in the ’60s and ’70s. Exhibited widely in the United States in those years, her art is in the collections of major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington.
