Peter Halley at Sonnabend Gallery poster, New York (Hand Signed by Peter Halley)
By Peter Halley
Located in New York, NY
Peter Halley Peter Halley, Sonnabend Gallery, New York (Hand Signed by Peter Halley), 1989 Offset lithograph poster (hand signed by Peter Halley) 28 × 26 inches Unframed Alpha 137 Gallery is honored to offer this historic offset lithograph of American artist Peter Halley's 1989 exhibition at the legendary Sonnabend Gallery in New York which the artist hand signed in black marker. Scroll down for a photograph of our director Nadine Witkin with the artist. Below is Peter Halley's official biography. What it doesn't mention is that Andy Warhol famously painted his portrait in 1986! Peter Halley is that legendary. According to Halley, he didn't realize until after Warhol's death that the polaroids Warhol took of him with his famous "big shot" camera were made into an original painting. Warhol's painting of Peter Halley was included in the recent Andy Warhol retrospective "Andy Warhol - from A to B and Back Again" at the Whitney. PETER HALLEY BIOGRAPHY Peter Halley, born 1953, New York City, is an American artist who came to prominence as a central figure of the Neo-Conceptualist movement of the 1980s. His paintings redeploy the language of geometric abstraction to explore the organization of social space in the digital era. Since the 1980s, Halley’s lexicon has included three elements: “prisons” and “cells,” connected by “conduits,” which are used in his paintings to explore the technologically determined space and pathways that regulate daily life. Using fluorescent color and Roll-a-Tex, a commercial paint additive that provides readymade texture, Halley embraces materials that are anti-naturalistic and commercially manufactured. In the mid 1990s Halley pioneered the use of wall-sized digital prints in his site-specific installations. He has executed installations at Museo Nivola, Orani, Sardinia (2021); Greene Naftali...
