All as is and in production used condition. Created by Tony Walton for the interior of the legendary New York City nightclub Studio 54, c. 1977-1980. These pieces were part of the Brooklyn Museum’s Studio 54: Night Magic exhibition, March-November, 2020. From the Museum’s description "For Studio?s renovation in August?September 1978, lighting designers Jules Fisher and Paul Marantz relocated the fanned neon backdrop from the Broadway production of Chicago to Studio 54, following the original show?s two-year run. Designed by Tony Award?winning set and costume designer Tony Walton, the neon fan would become another visual icon of the nightclub. From 1977 to 1980, Walton, Aerographics, and Mark Ravitz would propose new imagery for both the permanent dance space and one-night-only events."
