Bill Hall

Bill Hall’s graphic prints and collaged works are tonal studies in contrast dark and lights. As master intaglio printer at Pace Editions in New York for almost thirty years, Hall collaborated on hundreds of print editions and worked with many well-known artists, including Helen Frankenthaler, Jim Dine, Chuck Close, John Chamberlain, Robert Mangold, and James Turrell.

“Contrary to a lot of minimalist art, I am not reaching for pure abstraction. Instead, I pose questions about reality with contrasts, random design, movement, and ambiguities. In my work, flat shapes move in or out of the picture plane. Surfaces are stained and scarred, as if seen from a topographical viewpoint. I often use grids to establish order, then employ random means, like the throw of dice, to bring tension and disorder.” — Bill Hall

Bill Hall retired from Pace Editions in 2015 and currently lives in Western North Carolina.
