Sue Coe

Sue Coe is considered one of the foremost political artists working today. Born in England in 1951, she moved to New York in the early 1970’s. Coe has been featured on the cover of Art News and has been included in numerous museum and gallery exhibitions nationally and internationally, including a one-person retrospective at the Hirschhorn Museum in Washington, D.C.

Sue Coe's work has been published in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and many other periodicals. While Coe's work covers a variety of subjects, she has spent years documenting the atrocities committed by people against animals. Her most recent series examines the atrocities that humans commit against one another, specifically revealed by the horrors of war.

Coe's own publications include How to Commit Suicide in South Africa, X (The Life and Times of Malcolm X), Police State, Dead Meat, and the recently published Pit's Letter.
