Footnotes

Provenance
Collection of the artist, Geneva
Sale: Sotheby's, Paris, Art Contemporain, 3 December 2014, Lot 108
Acquired directly from the above by the present owner

"Fleury's works deal in binaries: male and female, producer and consumer, yin and yang [...] Phallic objects such as rockets or mushrooms are dyed in cheerful colours like pink or purple, coated with a shiny surface, or supplemented with a playful faux fur, all elements that serve to disarm. [...] In her work one can recognise allusions to canonical artworks by twentieth-century male artists which are given an overtly feminine makeover: Fleury references with playful ease works by Andy Warhol, Lucio Fontana, Victor Vasarely [...] She counters the dominant male position in art history (particularly Pop Art and Minimalism) with female humour"
