Peter Alexander

Peter Alexander, was born in Los Angeles California in 1939 and significantly contributed to the conceptual and aesthetic merits of California minimalism and the "light and space" movement of the 60’s and 70’s. He received his BA in 1965 and his MFA in 1966 from the University of California, Los Angeles. Alexander’s painting and sculpture offer a pristine slice of Southern California light, space and culture that spark a feeling of ease, suavity and cool through the elegant execution of materials such as resin, aluminum, ink, acrylic and oil. Major collections include the Metropolitan Museum, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Getty Museum, Los Angeles. He currently lives and works in Santa Monica.
