Susan Hiller

Susan Hiller was an American born artist, based in London since the early 1960s. She is regarded as one of the most influential artists of her generation.

Throughout her distinguished career Hiller incorporated installation, film, painting, writing, sculpture and photography, making innovative and seductive works from ephemeral and sometimes seemingly unimportant items. She drew upon a wide range of sources including dreams, postcards, Punch & Judy shows, archives, horror movies, narratives of ‘near death experiences’ and UFO sightings.

Susan Hiller’s career has been recognised by survey exhibitions at a number of institutions including The Polygon in Vancouver, Pérez Art Museum in Miami and Tate Britain in London. Her works are also held in the public collections of the Arts Council Collection, British Council, Centre Pompidou and Museum of Modern Art in New York among many others.
