Suzan Frecon

(American, born 1941)

Suzan Frecon is a contemporary American artist best known for her Minimalist abstract oil paintings. Often repeating simple geometric and organic forms across her oeuvre, she creates works in variety of scales and media, including small, subtly colored watercolor and paper pieces. “I try to keep any association or image out of my paintings,” the artist has said. “I think they are most successful when they reach for the highest possible plane of abstraction, when you can’t say that they look like something.” Born in Mexico, PA, Frecon received her BFA from Pennsylvania State University in 1963, and then traveled to Paris where she studied painting at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts for the next three years. She has exhibited her work in numerous institutions across the globe, including solo shows at Kunstmuseum Bern in Switzerland, The Drawing Center in New York, and in the New York-based Whitney Biennial. Frecon currently lives and works in New York, NY, and has exhibited with David Zwirner in New York and Lawrence Markey in San Antonio. Her work can be found in the public collections of the The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.
