Intrigued and inspired by the neon beer signs on shopfronts in his SanFrancisco neighborhood, Bruce Nauman created his first neon piece, Window or WallSign, in 1967. He wanted, he said, to achieve 'an art that would kind ofdisappear--that was supposed to not quite look like art.' Light offered Nauman amedium both elusive and effervescent, but one that could also aggressively convey amessage. Over the first three decades of his career, Nauman used the medium of lightto explore the twists and turns of perception, logic, and meaning with the earnestplayfulness that characterizes all his art. Elusive Signs focuses on the discretebody of Nauman's work that uses neon and fluorescent light in signs and roominstallations, and includes images of nearly all Nauman's work with light.AfterWindow or Wall Sign, Nauman embarked on a series of neons that grappled with thesemiotics of body and identity, and with My Name as Though it Were Written on theSurface of the Moon (1968), he forces the viewer to contemplate the role of namingin forming identity. Language--signs and symbols--plays an important role inNauman's art. His later neon works emphasize the neon as a sign, presentingprovocative twists of language and offering harsh and humorous sociopoliticalcommentary in such pieces as Run from Fear, Fun from Rear (1972). This seriesculminates in the monumental, billboard-size One Hundred Live and Die (1984), whichemploys overwhelming scale to bombard the viewer with sardonic aphorisms. Inincisive essays that accompany the images of Nauman's work, Joseph Ketner II of theMilwaukee Art Museum (which originated the exhibit this book accompanies) andcritics Janet Kraynak and Gregory Volk analyze the works in light both as a body ofwork and as an access point to Nauman's entire career.Distributed for the MilwaukeeArt Museum. Images of nearly all Bruce Nauman's signs and room installation using neon and fluorescent light, from Window or Wall Sign (1967) to the monumental One Hundred Live and Die (1984), accompanied by interpretive essays.
