Kinetic work by Toni Burgering (1936-2017). Toni Burgering is a Dutch sculptor, installer and lighting designer. This work, one of the first made by the artist in neon, is composed of stainless steel, plexiglass and neon lighting. Dimensions L76 x H76 x D18 cm. Probably a work made in the early 1970s. Toni Burgering was fascinated by American culture: their consumer society, advertising, space exploration, eroticism and sex, as well as pop music played a large role in his inspiration. He made several trips to the USA and met Andy Warhol. He found success when in 1970, the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam bought a work from him. From that time on, many works entered private collections. In the 1970s, the city of Rotterdam commissioned about ten neon works from him, which he called "luminous objects". Today, some of them can still be seen in the cityscape. For years, Toni Burgering worked on the project to wrap the Euromast in Rotterdam with a huge pink neon "cotton candy" - unfortunately, due to a lack of sponsors, the project never came to fruition.
