- Summary
- A key figure in the New York art scene, Amy Sillman is renowned for her singular approach to painting and drawing. Her writings extend a practice that challenges traditions and theoretical frameworks with criticality and humor, and advocates subjectivity: she reevaluates Abstract Expressionism with a queer eye, explores the meaning of color and shape, and discusses in depth the work of other artists - from Delacroix to Maria Lassing to Laura Owens. In Faux Pas, a collection of her most recent essays, alongside her cartoons and original drawings, art - as personal as it is political - is a practice that responds to today's struggles.
