A multi-talented American artist, Amy Sillman (b. 1955) excels in a wide range of artistic mediums, including drawing, zines, iPhone videos, installation, collaboration, teaching, and curating. However, painting has remained the central focus of her artistic practice throughout her career. This comprehensive monograph spans two decades of Sillman's artistic output, from the late-1990s to the present.

Valerie Smith's text delves into Sillman's distinctive approach to painting, which is deeply influenced by filmmakers, musicians, and the processes of her other chosen disciplines, as well as by traditional art historical figures. Sillman's works engage in an intense cognitive and gestural exploration of her chosen materials, often spanning long periods of time and involving numerous interconnected works.

Through her painting, Sillman emerges as a powerful and expressive force, presenting a self-reflexive practice that reimagines contemporary painting as an ever-evolving continuum rather than a fixed final product. Her works challenge the traditional notion of a completed painting and instead offer a dynamic and evolving perspective on the art form.

In conclusion, Amy Sillman is a remarkable artist who has made significant contributions to the field of contemporary art through her diverse and prolific artistic practice. This monograph provides a comprehensive exploration of her two-decade-long career, showcasing her exceptional talent and innovative approach to painting. Sillman's works continue to inspire and challenge viewers, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the art world.
