Description
Amy Sillman: A Comprehensive Monograph Valérie Smith's in-depth exploration of American artist Amy Sillman's practice spans two decades, from the late-1990s to the present. This comprehensive monograph delves into Sillman's unique approach to painting, influenced by a range of disciplines including filmmaking and music. Sillman's works are characterized by an intensive cognitive and gestural interrogation of her chosen materials, often resulting in radically expressive paintings that reformulate contemporary painting as an ever-evolving continuum. With this book, Smith reveals the intricacies of Sillman's self-reflexive practice, one that continually redefines the boundaries of painterly thought. Through a detailed examination of Sillman's production, Smith sheds light on the artist's innovative approach to painting, one that is both deeply personal and profoundly influential.
