Sue Williams

Overview

She came to prominence in the early 1980s, with works that echoed and argued with the dominant postmodern feminist aesthetic of the time.

Through concealed messages in abstract painting, Sue Williams' vibrantly colored and highly specific work serves as a foil to the male-dominated Abstract Expressionist movement. She came to prominence in the early 1980s, with works that echoed and argued with the dominant postmodern feminist aesthetic of the time. In the years since, Williams' focus has never waned yet her aesthetic interests have moved toward abstraction along with her subject matter and memories.

 Williams has had solo shows at the Vienna Secession, Geneva Center for Contemporary Art, and Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Germany, along with being included in 3 consecutive Whitney Biennials (1993, 1995, and 1997) and her work is included in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva.
