Sylvie Fleury Pleasures , 2001 Red orange neon, 15¾ × 47¼ × 2 in. Collection of John & Amy Phelan
In her work, Fleury uses the seductive language of advertising to challenge the masculinity of the Western art historical canon and explore the art world’s collusion in cycles of consumerism. Here, the allure of the word rendered in neon is matched by the dazzling luminosity of its surface. The longer you look at the object—which seems to offer the sexualized body for sale—the more complicated is its appeal. —HJ
