Produced while studying at Columbia University Graduate School from 1985–87, these model sketches and figure studies capture Quigley's formative years at just 24 years old, immersed in New York's downtown cultural resurgence. While still a graduate student, he exhibited alongside artists including Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julian Schnabel, Anselm Kiefer, Pat Steir, Keith Haring, Barbara Kruger, and George Condo, while absorbing the influence of the city's emerging galleries, museums, and club scene. The drawings reveal the development of the energetic line, gestural mark-making, and expressive abstraction that would become hallmarks of his mature work. Each study is both delicate and raw, exploring the human figure through an increasingly confident and distinctive visual language.
