During his early career he was represented by the Tibor de Nagy Gallery and was associated with the Park Place Gallery.

A veteran of more than 50 solo exhibitions and hundreds of group exhibitions, he is best known for his abstract painted welded steel sculptures.

Peter Reginato had a two-man show entitled "Color-Coded" with Ronnie Landfield in 2005^[1] at Heidi Cho Gallery in Chelsea, New York City, showing his abstract painted welded steel sculptures. In June 2007, Reginato will be exhibiting a new body of abstract welded stainless steel sculptures in a solo exhibition entitled "Low Maintenance". However, these new works are unpainted and left for the viewer to admire the different color and surface characteristics of the steel, as Reginato explores new abstractions and forms.
