2026 Sue Webster ICON, 2026 Clear glass/ red neon gas, 3KV transformer, 5mm white perspex box 620mm x 350 mm x 75 mm Edition of 15 ICON is one of the defining works from Sue Webste r’s major exhibition Birth of an Icon, which opened at Firstsite in January 2026 to significant critical acclaim. Stripped back to a single, loaded word rendered in vivid red neon, ICON sits at the intersection of cultural mythology, celebrity, power, and collective desire. Webster has long been interested in how society constructs meaning around objects, people and symbols. In ICON, that enquiry is distilled into its most potent and seductive form. It also happens to be the 4th track from Siouxsie and the Banshees' seminal 2nd album, Join Hands.
