9 - PETER HALLEY (New York, 1953).

PETER HALLEY (New York, 1953). "001," 2025. LED on acrylic base with UV printing, one of 50 copies. Each piece is individually engraved. Certificate of authenticity included; retains its original box and comes with a mounting kit for installation. Measurements: 40 x 40 cm. 001 is the first design resulting from the collaboration between Peter Halley and Yellowpop and translates into the medium of light the geometric vocabulary that has defined the artist’s work since the 1980s. Concentric rectangles and vertical modules evoke his well-known “cells,” “prisons,” and “ducts”—structures through which Halley reflects on the organization and compartmentalization of contemporary space. The use of LEDs in intense shades of green, violet, blue, red, and orange extends his longstanding exploration of fluorescent and Day-Glo colors in a particularly coherent way. Peter Halley is a central figure in the renewal of American geometric abstraction linked to Neo-Geo and 1980s neo-conceptualism. Trained at Yale and holding an MFA from the University of New Orleans, he has simultaneously pursued a significant career as a writer, editor, and educator. In 1992, the Reina Sofía Museum dedicated a solo exhibition to him, as part of a traveling exhibition that included the CAPC in Bordeaux and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. His work is represented in collections such as the MoMA and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the Fondation Cartier in Paris.
