Catalogue Note
The ICA presented a solo exhibition of recent work by the painter
Peter Halley in 1989 (an exhibition also shown at institutions in
Krefeld, Saint-Etienne and Naples, and at Sonnabend Gallery,
New York).
Peter Halley has created a new painting especially for the ICA's
60th anniversary auction, entitled Blue Prison, 2008. Since the early
eighties Halley's geometric paintings have been engaged in a play
of relationships between what he calls "prisons" and "cells" – icons
that reflect the rationalisation and control of social space and daily life. The works are rendered in glowing industrial colours, and employ modern materials such as day-glo acrylic.
