Dangerous Minds | Neon dreams: 1966 documentary on pop artist Billy Apple
Apple was one of the first artists to see the sculptural possibilities
of neon and had several major exhibits of his work, including “Apples to
Xerox” and “Neon Rainbows.” His creations combined fluorescent tubing
often with silk screens and sculpted objects like apples.
“Neon is the purest, hippest color in the world; Day-glo phosphorescent paint looks 1929-ish next to it.”
