Biography
Sue Williams is an American artist born in 1954 in Chicago Heights, Illinois.
She graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 1976 and moved to New York in 1981, where she developed a feminist and activist painting practice.
Her early works, influenced by comic books and advertising language, tackle domestic violence and explicit sexual content, often seen as a feminist critique of patriarchal society and war.
Over time, her work evolved into lyrical abstraction, while maintaining a sharp critique of political and social relationships.
She has exhibited in prestigious institutions such as the Vienna Secession, the Centre for Contemporary Art Geneva, and the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden in Germany, as well as in three consecutive Whitney Biennials (1993, 1995, 1997).
Her works are part of major collections including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C., and the Centre for Contemporary Art in Geneva.
