Peter Halley

Known since the early 1990s for his photographs of young people in their social environment – clubs, gay pride parades, warehouse parties – Wolfgang Tillmans created an enigmatic, sexy and highly innovative photography while inventing new icons of beauty and style for gallery goers and magazine readers alike. This book is an updated and expanded edition of his 2002 monograph, featuring a new survey on his work from the past ten years and new artist's writings.

Forty years of hyperchromatic immersive installations from the Neo-Geo pioneerHighly 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 Raisonn (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.
