2016
Suzan Frecon was the recipient of the 2016 Artist's Legacy Foundation Artist Award. The honor recognized her subtle, meticulous compositions and attention to the physical qualities of her works. Discussing this aspect of her practice, Frecon has said: "I need to mix the colors myself; I need to know how the colors feel—I need to be in touch with everything I do."
2016 marked the 10th anniversary of the award, which was celebrated with a video documentary on Frecon and past honorees. For the award, painters and sculptors are anonymously selected by a group of distinguished nominators and jurors with expertise in their fields.
