He began his formal training at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, from which he graduated in 1971. During that time, Halley read Josef Albers’s Interaction of Color (1981), which would influence him throughout his career. From 1973 to 1974 Halley lived in New Orleans, where he absorbed the vibrant cultural influences of the city, began using commercial materials in his art, and first became acquainted with the writings of earthwork artist Robert Smithson. In 1975 the artist graduated from Yale University, New Haven, with a degree in art history. After Yale, Halley returned to New Orleans, where he received an MFA in painting from the University of New Orleans in 1978. He had his first solo exhibition at the Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans, that same year. In 1978 Halley spent a semester teaching art at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette. He has continued to teach throughout his career. In 1980, Halley moved back to New York and had his first solo exhibition in the city at PS122 Gallery. At this time, Halley was drawn to the pop themes and social issues addressed in New Wave music. Inspired by New York’s intense urban environment, Halley set out to use the language of geometric abstraction to describe the actual geometricized space around him. He also began his iconic use of fluorescent Day-Glo paint. In 1984, Halley started to exhibit with the International With Monument gallery, becoming closely associated with the organization and its artists, who exhibited conceptually rigorous work in a market-savvy, coolly presented space that stood in stark contrast to the bohemian, Neo-Expressionist flair of the East Village art scene at the time. In 1986, an exhibition of four artists from International With Monument at the Sonnabend Gallery in New York heralded the group’s growing success. By the late 1980s, Halley was exhibiting with prominent galleries in the United States and Europe. In 1989, an exhibition of his paintings traveled to the Museum Haus Esters, Krefeld, Germany; Maison de la culture et de la communication de Saint-Étienne, France; and Institute of Contemporary Arts, London. From 1991 to 1992, a retrospective toured Europe, with presentations at the CAPC Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux, France; Musée d’art contemporain, Lausanne, Switzerland; Museo nacional centro de arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. In 1992, the Des Moines Art Center hosted his first solo exhibition at a U.S. museum. While developing his visual language, Halley became interested in French post-structuralist writers, including Jean Baudrillard, Guy Debord, Michel Foucault, and Paul Virillio, all of whom shared his concern with the character of social spaces in a post-industrial society. In 1981, he published his first essay “Beat, Minimalism, New Wave, and Robert Smithson” in Arts, a New York–based magazine that would publish eight of his essays before the decade’s end. Halley’s writings became the basis for Neo-Geometric Conceptualism (also known as Neo-Geo), the offshoot of Neo-Conceptualism associated with the work of Ashley Bickerton, Halley, and Jeff Koons. In 1988, the artist’s writings were anthologized in Collected Essays, 1981–1987, and again in 1997 in a second anthology, Recent Essays, 1990–1996. In the mid-1990s, Halley began to produce site-specific installations for museums, galleries, and public spaces. These characteristically brought together a range of imagery and mediums, including paintings, wall-size flowcharts, and digitally generated wallpaper prints. Halley has executed permanent installations at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Texas, and the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at New York University. In 2011, his installation of digital prints Judgment Day...

A striking 60 x 60 inch abstract painting by contemporary artist Chris Brandell. This mixed-media work balances raw energy with quiet restraint: a bold vertical field of white emerges against a warm neutral ground, layered with gestural charcoal marks, delicate line work, and inky splashes of black. Earthy rust tones and subtle hints of red provide unexpected intensity, drawing the eye across the canvas. Brandell’s work is celebrated for its poetic minimalism and ability to capture emotion through texture, negative space, and intentional mark-making. Our Friendship Is Made of Being Awake 2 conveys a sense of vulnerability and strength, making it a powerful focal point for modern interiors and discerning collectors of contemporary abstraction.

This original 1960 abstract painting by Hilaire Hiler (1898–1966) exemplifies his distinctive structuralist style and modernist vision. Created during his influential period in New Mexico, the artwork features soothing, harmonious tones of pink and blue, expertly layered to evoke a sense of calm and balance. Signed in the lower right corner, this mid-century modern piece measures 15 ½ x 18 ¾ inches framed, with an image size of 14 x 17 ½ inches. Hilaire Hiler’s work stands out for its intellectual rigor and visual harmony, blending abstraction with a structuralist approach that explores color, form, and rhythm. About the Artist: Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Hiler received extensive art training at the Rhode Island School of Design, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the University of Paris. Between 1919 and 1934, he lived in Paris, working as a jazz pianist while engaging deeply with the European avant-garde. After returning to the U.S., Hiler painted WPA murals for San Francisco’s Aquatic Park...

Turquoise abstract painting - Acrylic and graphite on canvas in artist frame. Signed on back by the artist. Mark Zimmermann's work is based on the fusion of meditative fields, architectonic structures and an organic gestural line that is one-part intentional and one-part accidental. Zimmermann clearly demonstrates his deftness of hand though labored bands of color, building and editing one band upon other, until the editing process renders compositions that combine both hard-edge and action-painting abstraction. In discussing this work, the editor and writer, Larry Qualls noted,“...a majestic landscape...
