Amy Sillman

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 meanings of color and shape, and discusses in depth the work of other artists-from Delacroix to Maria Lassnig to Carolee Schneemann 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. This new, updated edition features additional texts as well as new drawings from 2020-22.
