What I can see
This imposing abstract sculpture of Clytemnestra exudes dynamism and refers to technology. It is made of aluminum and neon and is 7.03m high.
What I can't see
The sculptor Chrysa (Vardea) experimented for decades in the combination of light and various materials. Clytemnestra was probably part of her study on the “Gates” of New York. There are earlier renderings of Clytemnestra in Washington and Berlin, dating back to the 1960s.
