Linder Sterling

Linder Sterling, born Linda Mulvey in 1954 in Liverpool, is a pioneering British artist and designer known for her provocative collages that engage with themes of femininity, sexuality, and trauma. She gained notoriety in the late 1970s for her graphic design work, particularly the iconic album cover for Buzzcocks' 'Orgasm Addict.' Linder's work often incorporates found imagery, including pornography, to comment on the objectification of women and the complexities of gender roles. Her recent retrospective exhibition, 'Danger Came Smiling,' showcases over 50 years of her art and reflects her ongoing exploration of the intersection of art and personal trauma. Linder's innovative approach to collage and her contributions to feminist discourse have solidified her status as a vital figure in contemporary art.
