Tony Feher (b. 1956, Albuquerque, New Mexico) is an artist based in New York, NY. He received a B.A. from the University of Texas, Austin in 1978 and began exhibiting his work in 1980, and by 1991 was showing both nationally and internationally. Since that time his work has been featured in over 160 gallery and museum exhibitions worldwide.

For more than 25 years, Feher has created abstract sculptures and installations that dramatically and playfully engage the spaces they inhabit. Feher had an inaugural show with The Pace Gallery in 2008 which ran concurrently with an exhibition at D'Amelio Terras. The Pace Gallery exhibited new works by the artist in a solo show entitled Next On Line in early 2011. http://www.thepacegallery.com/repository/envs/live/resources/55972/Tony%20Feher_Recent%20Work_2011_FINAL.pdf. The exhibit included sculptures made of clear vinyl tubing in lengths of up to 300 feet, each filled with colored water and hung from walls or ceilings to create curving lines that spill into coils and arabesques on the gallery floor.

In 2010 Feher installed a long term, site determined commission for Arthouse at the Jones Center in Austin, Texas. For the past seven years Feher has worked on a major public commission for the grounds of the federal district courthouse in Rockford, Illinois, which will open in spring of 2011.
