From Booklist
Prolific and ever cogent, art critic Sandler breaks new ground once again by writing about the work of a pioneering living artist. Antonakos' metier is neon, and Sandler believes that his Greek heritage and early years in 1920s rural Greece inspired his fascination with light. The artist concurs but notes that as much as the "powerful, clear natural light" of Greece may have imprinted itself on his child's psyche, he remembers most vividly the richly colored interior of the church near his home. Many of his pieces for enclosed spaces have a sort of stained-glass radiance, but Antonakos, who is as much a technical innovator as a master of form and color, also transforms outdoor space with his large, open-air constructions. Sandler's skillful chronicle and analysis of Antonakos' 40-year exploration of the properties of light are accompanied by 257 spectacular colorplates. Donna Seaman
