Susan Weil's mixed-media works address the plastic quality of time
and space through processes of cutting, crumpling and refiguring her
compositions. In allowing the viewer's eye to contemplate a series of moments
and perspectives at once, Weil generously gives an almost omniscient power to
the viewer, as well as a sense not of fractured time but of a more truthful
depiction of genuine experience. Weil has influenced many in the Abstract
Expressionist movement- especially her ex-husband, Robert Rauschenberg, with
whom she collaborated on many projects, most notably the Blueprint paintings of 1950. Her work is in many major museum
collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, New York; The Museum Of Modern Art, New
York, New York; the Victoria and Albert
Museum, London;
and the J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu,
California.
