Sue Williams Exhibition at PBICA |

LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA.- The Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art (PBICA) presents "SUE WILLIAMS: A FINE LINE", the first solo exhibition in the United states devoted to the work of this renowned contemporary artist. The exhibition will be on view through June 16, 2002.
Having emerged in the 1980's with fiercely painted canvases that addressed issues of female abuse and aberrant sexuality, her work has evolved into a complex abstraction that critic Michael Kimmelman has compared to Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Joan Mitchell.
Containing more than 35 works, SUE WILLIAMS: A FINE LINE will feature work from the 1990's especially several large paintings from the mid to late 90's including Big Red Shoes, 1998 and Winter Sunset, 2000. Included with the large and smaller canvases will be works on vellum and drawings on paper.
"It is a great pleasure for us to present the first U.S. museum show for this extraordinary artist," says PBICA Director Michael Rush. "She is surely one of the leading painters of our time. She represents a re-invigorated commitment to abstraction among younger artists."
SUE WILLIAMS: A FINE LINE is curated by PBICA Director Michael Rush. A full-color catalogue with essays by Rush and critic Barry Schwabsky will accompany the exhibition.
About the artist:
Sue Williams was born in 1954 in Chicago Heights, Ill. and received her B.F.A. from the California Institute of the Arts in 1976. Her extraordinary gifts as a painter won for her a place in three consecutive Whitney Biennials, 1993, '95, and '97. In conjunction with the '97 Biennial, curator Rush made a film on Ms. Williams which will also be included in the PBICA exhibition. In addition to the Whitney, other museums holding her work include the Museum of Modern Art and the Hirshhorn Museum.
