LARGE NEON ROCKET SHIP

LARGE NEON ROCKET SHIP Spectacular oversized retro-futuristic rocket/spacecraft display, constructed in metal and finished in silver with darker shaded accents emphasizing the extensive riveted construction. The highly detailed design features a rounded cockpit with multiple dark glazed windows, broad forward fins, an elongated cylindrical fuselage, prominent riveted structural ribs and panels, and a dramatic array of tubular exhaust elements surrounding the body immediately behind the cockpit. The rear terminates in large sweeping stabilizer fins and additional rocket-style exhaust details. The nose is fitted with a projecting multi-stage cannon or probe incorporating blue neon rings, while additional exposed colored neon tubing is mounted at the rear, giving the piece an especially dramatic appearance when illuminated. Numerous applied rivets, raised panels, vents, window surrounds and fabricated mechanical details contribute to its convincing Machine Age / science-fiction spacecraft aesthetic. Strong possibility that this example is the work of — or closely related to the work of — Los Angeles artist Baron Margo, who is known for hand-fabricated, riveted aluminum retro-futuristic vehicles and spacecraft incorporating neon.
