Blue Neon Steel Floor Lamp by Rudi Stern and Dan Chelsea for Kovacs, 1983

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.

  • Sculptural Neon Torchiere Floor Lamp by Let There Be Neon for George Kovacs
    By Rudi Stern and Don Chelsea
    Located in Chicago, IL
    A true statement. Sculptural, monolithic torchiere with a magenta neon element designed by Dan Chelsea of Let There Be Neon, founded by Rudi Stern, in collaboration with George Kovacs. A total must have for any fan of the eclectic and post-modern, the lamp warrants a comment from anyone who walks into it's space. It features two separate knobs - one controlling the neon mechanism, and the other acting as a dimmer switch for the torchiere. The torchiere takes a standard bulb. A total stand out piece, and one that acts as much of a piece of art as it does a lamp. Perfect for home or business. This lamp would make a real impact in a high end retail setting. The same lamp was recently featured in A24 production 'Uncut Gems...
