The first of its kind, this authoritative open-access volume offers tips, guidelines, and best practices on preserving, installing, and storing neon artworks.

Neon lighting first emerged as a cutting-edge technology in the late nineteenth century, illuminating the night sky with bright, colorful commercial signage. Artists soon began to test its potential, and figures like Chryssa, Bruce Nauman, Mary Weatherford, and Glenn Ligon created iconic works that established neon as a legitimate artistic medium. As the earliest neon artworks approach one hundred years old, their conservation becomes ever more important. Unfortunately, the practice of preserving light-based art is absent from most conservation training programs. This publication fills that gap, offering an invaluable resource for conservators, collectors, preparators, and anyone else with a professional involvement with, or just curiosity about, neon artifacts.
