Elusive Signs: Bruce Nauman Works with Light

From other websites:

Willem Volkersz: The View from Here: A 25 Year Retrospective is a 2021 exhibit at the South Dakota Art Museum which says: "The sculptural assemblages of Willem Volkersz are incredibly unique and unforgettable. Using a language of commercial and pop cultural aesthetics, he roots his works in the directness, accessibility, and magnetism of Pop Art. Paint-by-number paintings, neon, travel souvenirs, and other found objects and imagery provide familiar and intriguing entryways for viewers." Also see the website of the artist. Accessed 2/22
