Susie

The first monographic close reading of Ashley Bickerton’s influential early work.

The girls name «Susie» served as a trademark for Ashley Bickerton’s work, he showed during the 1980s in New York until moving to Bali. His intriguing painterly and sculptural pieces derive from commodity aesthetics, marketing language and corporate culture. At the time they were shown in the context of the seminal group of artists – often referred to as «Neo-Geo» – consisting of Bickerton, Halley, Koons and Vaisman at Sonnabend gallery.
