Neon art is everywhere these days. Tracey Emin's glowing phrases (like the one seen here) have been spreading across blogs like wildfire for the past few years and works in neon were a highlight at the 2012 Armory Show last month in New York. But for all of their recent popularity, the idea of neon signs as art is anything but new. Contemporary artists like Bruce Nauman and Dan Flavin first worked in neon tubing over forty years ago.
From clever phrases and abstract shapes to simple, yet powerful, lines, we present to you 25 Awesome Neon Art Installations.
