This exhibition showcases the stunning works of Robert Cottingham, drawn from a 15-year exploration of the fading beauty of American signage and typography.

Discover how Cottingham turned everyday signs into bold reflections of American culture, memory, and his own typography. His prints of neon marquees and storefronts celebrate the beauty and stories embedded in our visual landscape.
