About Susan Norrie
Susan Norrie is an Australian contemporary artist born in Sydney in 1953. She is recognized for working across painting, photography, and video installation, with her mature practice centered on found film and original video installations that examine political and environmental crises. Norrie represented Australia at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007, a milestone that brought her international attention. Her work is held in the collection of the Tate, London, among other institutions. Norrie's practice bridges traditional painterly concerns with time-based media, positioning her as a distinctive voice in contemporary Australian art. Collectors encounter her work in both museum exhibitions and the secondary market, where paintings, photographs, and video editions each carry distinct appraisal considerations.

Common works and media
Susan Norrie's output spans oil and acrylic paintings, photographic prints, and single-channel or multi-channel video installations. Earlier works tend toward painting and photography, while her mature practice emphasizes large-scale video projections incorporating found archival footage. Auction and appraisal contexts most commonly encounter her photographic works and paintings. Video installations may be issued in limited editions with artist-signed certificates.
Market and appraisal context
Susan Norrie's work appears at auction across contemporary art and Australian art categories. Her 2007 Venice Biennale representation and institutional holdings at Tate provide strong provenance context. Paintings and photographs are her most frequently traded media, while video installations are rarer at auction and require careful attention to edition size, certificate of authenticity, and display hardware. Provenance, exhibition history, condition, and whether a work dates from her earlier painting period or her later video-based practice can materially affect value. Auction records for her video editions remain limited.
