Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris and taught at Brown University for many years. He lives with his family in Vermont, where he is a member of the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Department. His work is currently on view at Luise Ross Gallery in Chelsea.

Richard Gehr's writing about music, books, art, and television has appeared in The New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review, Village Voice, Rolling Stone, Spin, Artforum, The Comics Journal, and elsewhere.
