Hello colleagues: It is my understanding that neon "light" sculptures emit ultra-violet radiation.
If one is unable to isolate the artwork when on display, in other words displaying it in a space that may contain light-sensitive artwork, what can be done to the neon sculpture to filter the UV emission? Covering the sculpture with a UV-filtered acrylic vitrine? What if the artist insist in not having the sculpture covered in a vitrine? With regards to fabricating a neon sculpture today, can the "shell" that contains the neon be made of a UV-filtering material? I greatly look forward to your responses. Thank you.
