Biography
Sylvie Fleury is a contemporary Swiss artist. Creating mixed-media works out of the tradition of Conceptualism, her pieces pointedly critique superficiality, glamour, and luxury products while—at the same time—seeking their affirmation. Her bronze casts of high heels and shopping carts are indebted to pioneering appropriation artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol, both in her use of commercial objects and for her interest in subversion. Born on June 24, 1961 in Geneva, Switzerland, Fleury has shown with Galerie Thaddeus Ropac in Paris, Salon 94 in New York, and Almine Rech Gallery in Brussels. Her work can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, and the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg. She lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland.
