Using the CLEO II detector, we have measured the differential cross sections for exclusive two-photon production of light pseudoscalar mesons {pi}{sup 0}, {eta}, and {eta}{sup {prime}}. From our measurements we have obtained the form factors associated with the electromagnetic transitions {gamma}{sup {asterisk}}{gamma}{r_arrow}meson. We have measured these form factors in the momentum transfer ranges from 1.5 to 9, 20, and 30GeV{sup 2} for {pi}{sup 0}, {eta}, and {eta}{sup {prime}}, respectively, and have made comparisons to various theoretical predictions. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
