Peter Buchman "How to Disappear" Neon, 2024

About the Item

Contemporary New York artist Peter Buchman's "How to Disappear" white neon offers customizable settings: blink fast, blink slow, or remain static—the choice is yours. Every few years, Peter discovers an idea worth transforming into neon. It must be more than just another sign; we already have plenty of those, both good and bad. Many lights sparkle, but how many make you think? This piece speaks to Peter, speaks about Peter, and invites you to contemplate your place in this moment in time. Time is fleeting, so cherish the little things that can make the biggest impact. His neons reflect his continued introspection of words and writing, as well as our American cultural landscape. They comment on our overabundance and the littered landscape of signs and lights, exploring opposites: creating beauty from the ugly, and the magic of light. This piece touches on themes of our collective and individual history, the cycles of time, and the fleeting nature of life. Peter is having serious fun with the technology and prose, creating an iconic image that captures it all. The measurements below reflect just the letters, with the total dimensions being 52” wide and 6' high from the floor. This neon comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist and ships directly from his studio in East Hampton, NY. American artist Peter Buchman has BFA in Illustration from The Rhode Island School of Design and did a Sculpture Residency at The School of Visual Arts in New York. Peter's artwork has been exhibited throughout the US since 1981 including the Parrish Art Museum (Southampton, NY), Cooperstown Museum (NY), Delaware Museum of Art, Kidder Smith Gallery (MA) and Vered Gallery (East Hampton, NY). His work is included in the portfolios of collectors including Beth Rudin DeWoody, Nicole Miller, David Yurman and Howard Schultz. He is currently located in New York and East Hampton.
