WE THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE OVER THE PAST MANY YEARS! About this well listed artist : From AskArt.com: Keith Sonnier, a minimalist, performance, video and light artist, was born in Mamou, Louisiana, in 1941. He lived in Paris, France for several years, before coming to New York City in 1966, where he now resides. He became known in the late-1960s for his neon sculptures. He has taught at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. In 1975, he performed a 2-way open-channel event connecting New York and Los Angeles via NASA CTS satellite. Sonnier has created the one-kilometer long "Lichtweg," which runs the entire length of the Munich airport in Germany. His video work of the 1970s was exhibited in 2001 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania. Also in 2001, Fractured Oxygen = Ozone was exhibited in New York City at the non-profit art center, Location One. Six works, from 1990-1997, were involved in the show, based on the artist's response to Nikola Tesla's pioneer experiments in electricity. Sonnier had current sparking from copper wires (in 1997, Sonnier's "Tesla Wall," which discharged an electrical arc into two wire grids, was exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery, in New York City. In a 2004 exhibition, featuring Sonnier's work from the late 1960s and early 1970s, at the Ace Gallery, in New York City, the work, "Fluorescent Room," was set in a large, darkened space, with blocks of foam rubber smeared with orange and green paint that glowed under ultraviolet light. Also exhibited were six radio scanners tuned to different frequencies; and another work of wall-projected images of the art public viewing the works that were multiplied in real and delayed time. His work is in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum, St. Petersburg; and Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain.
