Ingo Maurer’s adventures in lighting are sculptural works of art that are joyfully colorful expressions of light and matter. Cuore Aperto is a modern Baroque romance in itself, complete with signature Maurer birds. What’s not to love? Hi Bruce, a neon version of a fifty-two pick-up game gone clubbing, is all about gem tones of emerald, amethyst, ruby and sapphire, while Gio Ponti and Licht.Enstein are a little more on the Liberace and Vegas side of things. Ingo, we want more. SM

NOTE: Cuore is one of 30 one-offs and prototypes by Maurer to be auctioned on November 23rd in Paris. The auction entitled ’Light is More’ – lighting objects of a century (1905-2005)“ is organized by the French auction house Artcurial. HW. Thanks Claude!
