Important exhibitions documented here include Stephen Antonakos: Pillows (1962), which offered one of the earliest examples of his work with neon; exhibitions of his Chapels and Meditation spaces, including The Chapel of the Saints (1993) in Rhodes and the full-scale Chapel of the Heavenly Ladder (1999) in St. Peter's Church, New York; Time Boxes 2000 at the Rose Art Museum which was the culmination of Antonakos's Package project begun in the early 1970s; a 2007 retrospective organized by Katerina Koskina, the curator of the J. F. Costpoulos Foundation in conjunction with the Benaki Museum, also seen at Allentown Art Museum in 2008; and many other exhibitions of Antonakos's drawings and neons.

Files typically contain artist statements, correspondence, original drawings and plans, instructions for fabricators and for installations, printed and digital material such as exhibition announcements, catalogs, and press clippings, and photographs of artwork, installations, and related events.
