Niederer is, along with Pipilotti Rist and Sylvie Fleury, one of the most popular contemporary female Swiss artists.
Human day-to-day situations from her private life and her immediate environment are the source for most of Niederer's works.
These personal snapshots are then re-worked in paintings or form the template for huge hand knotted silk carpets, which the artist gets produced in China.
In an ongoing photo series called Interieurs Niederer photographs her sold works in situ in their new owners' homes and offices.
Recent major museums exhibitions include Kunstmuseum St.Gallen (2017/2018), CAC Malaga (2006), Haus Lange, Krefeld (2006), Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin (2005), Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2005) and Kunstmuseum St. Gallen (2004).
