"Chryssa & New York" offers a timely reassessment of the Greek-born artist Chryssa. The artist was a leading figure in postwar New York and in the use of signage, text, and neon, that bridges Pop, Conceptual art, and Minimalism. Focusing on the artist’s early career, from the 1950s to the 1970s, this catalog charts the emergence of her singular aesthetic, especially her formal innovations with neon.
