Peter Halley: The Complete Installation Works (1980-2022)

Forty years of hyperchromatic immersive installations from the Neo-Geo pioneer

Highly celebrated as a painter since his early days as a prominent member of New York’s 1980s art scene and a leading main champion of the Neo-Geo movement, Peter Halley (born 1953) has also created challenging and idiosyncratic site-specific installations, exhibition scenography and permanent public works that have extended his practice to a larger scale. A companion to Paintings of the 1980s: The Catalogue Raisonne (2017), this volume gathers together all the installation works realized by the artist between 1980 and 2022, with extensive documentation. From his collaborations with legendary design maestro Alessandro Mendini to his monumental projects at the Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, and the Lever House in New York, from his early groundbreaking exhibitions in downtown New York to private and public commissions, this book encompasses a lesser-known but decisive aspect of Halley’s oeuvre.
