Amy Sillman: One Lump or Two

Amy Sillman: One Lump or Two

Accompanying a major museum retrospective of the acclaimed American painter, this book traces Amy Sillmanâ‚¬s diverse body of work that includes drawings, cartoons, paintings, and animated videos produced on an iPhone. From her early small-scale cartoon figures to her later enormous abstract paintings, Amy Sillmanâ‚¬s artistic vision shines through in this beautiful volume that covers the period from 1995 to the present. Filled with drawings, paintings, and 'zines, as well as stills from the artistâ‚¬s recent forays into animated films, the book traces the development of Sillmanâ‚¬s work from her early use of cartoon figures and a vivacious palette through her exploration of the diagrammatic line, the history of Abstract Expressionism, and a growing concern with the bodily and erotic dimensions of paint. This book also examines the importance of drawing in Sillmanâ‚¬s practice as well as the intensity with which she has embraced the dichotomy between figuration and abstraction. It celebrates her raw emotion, curiosity, erotic power, and humor.
