Good evening in Wrocław, Neon sign at Piłsudskiego Street, Wrocław, Poland
The illuminated installation presents a figure of a gentleman wearing a hat and holding a flower, accompanied by text in Polish script.
Created in 1962 by architect Janusz Tarantowicz, this neon sign marked the era of urban modernization during Poland's post-Stalinist period.
The neon sign represents a period when Polish cities embraced illuminated advertising as a form of artistic expression in public spaces.
The Roads and City Maintenance Authority allocated 42,000 PLN for the restoration of the neon sign using traditional gas-based technology.
The original design featured a larger gentleman figure that extended below the roof edge before its reduction during 1980s building renovations.
