1967

Σπουδή για τις Πύλες της Times Square is a 1967 by Chryssa (Vardea-Mavromichali), held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
This drawing shows neon-like letters that look half melted. Black lines cluster where glowing tubes would bend. Chryssa used simple shapes to mimic signs we see every day. She started this in New York after seeing Times Square’s bright letters. The work feels like a sketch, not a final piece. It’s all raw energy, not perfect lines. See how she layers marks with cross-hatching. The dense webs make the letters vibrate on the page. Look up Chryssa (Vardea-Mavromichali) (1933–2013).
Chryssa Vardea-Mavromichali (Greek: Χρυσά Βαρδέα-Μαυρομιχάλη; December 31, 1933 – December 23, 2013) was a Greek American artist who worked in a wide variety of media.
