Keith Sonnier's Neon and Drawings from the 1960s to Today in Milan

Galleria Fumagalli in Milan presents a solo exhibition of Keith Sonnier (born 1941 in Mamou, Louisiana), an American artist who has experimented with industrial ephemeral materials in sculpture since the 1960s. Neon became his preferred medium by the end of that decade, defining his production where light and color assert themselves architecturally. The exhibition traces the development of Sonnier's poetics, initially linked to American Minimalism (e.g., Lit Circle Series, 1968) and later embracing a more playful, environmental dimension, as seen in Sel Series (1978-2003), which references Oriental calligraphy, and Portal, where interaction with the environment is more pronounced.
