"Very proud to announce our third reprint of Amy Sillman's writings, now in an expanded edition: four new texts and many new drawings. An enhanced experience of the artist's witty, funny and overall amazing reflections on art practice and life."
—After 8 Books
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 (and Cézanne!) 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This new, updated edition features additional texts—including a previously unpublished essay on drawing that complements Sillman’s views on color and shape—as well as new drawings from 2020-22.
“Amy Sillman’s world view shines so beautifully throughout Faux Pas that it becomes a kind of illumination. A generous triumph.”
—Hilton Als
“An exuberant, massively heterogeneous, exhilarating bundle of texts, diagrams, drawings, that document, activate, and irritate.”
—Jutta Koether
“A wonderful mental embrace.”
—Rindon Johnson
