The wonderful artwork shown above was created using finely crushed fluorescent minerals, some canvas-board and Elmer’s glue. The piece was created in the 1950s by Mrs. Eva Phillips from South Plainfield, New Jersey. The piece is currently on display at the Electric Ladyland Museum in Amsterdam, Holland. The Electric Ladyland Musuem is the first museum dedicated to fluorescent artwork, and currently has three pieces by Mrs. Eva Phillips. The museum also has six pieces by Miera, a Japanese man who was also from New Jersey and one piece from an original miner from Franklin, New Jersey. Along with the fluorescent mineral artwork, the museum also has many other fluorescent artwork exhibits, exhibits of fluorescence in general and an exhibit of fluorescent minerals. The photographs above were used with permission of Mr. Nick Padalino, the museum founder and owner.
