Dagley is best known for his geometric paintings, which have been displayed at galleries, foundations and museums throughout the United States and Europe, as well as in South America and Australia. His first solo show took place in 1986, at Tony Shafrazi Gallery. In 1993 Dagley had his first museum exhibition at Kunstverein St. Gallen, Switzerland. The same year he also received his first major commission, which was from Hoffman-LaRoche Pharmaceuticals: two wall reliefs, nine-foot square, that were installed in their new headquarters outside of Basel. Dagley's Primary Color Sequence was reproduced on the cover of the catalog for Post-Hypnotic, a museum show that traveled the U.S. from 1999-2001. In 2014 that painting was acquired by the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires.
