Alexis Smith
The one name missing in Kevin Starr’s otherwise superb article on the restoration and relighting of L.A.’s neon (“Landscape Electric,” Opinion, July 4) is Los Angeles artist Alexis Smith.
It was her public artwork in MacArthur Park, which included the relighting of the nearby Westlake Theatre sign, that actually gave birth to the entire citywide neon restoration program that Al Nodal has so brilliantly choreographed.
