Whitney & Empire State Building Feature Peter Halley in Light Show Collaboration

The Whitney Museum of American Art and the Empire State Building will collaborate to celebrate the museum's new downtown location and the 84th birthday of the New York City landmark. To mark the two events, Emmy-nominated production designer Marc Brickman will create an LED light show on the Empire State Building interpreting the work of Pace Prints collaborator and esteemed "neo-geo" painter Peter Halley, as well as Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Peter Halley, Elizabeth Murray, Mark Rothko, and Barbara Kruger, among others.

The show will begin at 8pm on May 1 and conclude at 2am the following day. The majority of the featured pieces are on view in the museum's inaugural exhibition, America Is Hard to See.
