The evidence is in Faux Pas ... her writings display the same good humor and intelligence of her best paintings.” –Jason Farago, New York Times\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new edition of \u003cem\u003eFaux Pas\u003c\/em\u003e, the acclaimed collection of writings by Amy Sillman, comes as an expanded edition, with the addition of new essays, including recent texts on Paul Cézanne, Carolee Schneemann, Elizabeth Murray and Louise Fishman. The previously unpublished text from a lecture on drawing complements Sillman’s views on color and shape. New drawings from 2020–22 include a selection of works on paper that were part of the artist’s installation at the 59th International Venice Biennale, \u003cem\u003eThe Milk of Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e, in 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 1970s, Sillman—a beloved and key figure of the New York art scene—has developed a singular body of work that includes large-scale gestural paintings blending abstraction with representation, as well as zines and iPad animations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the past decade, Sillman has also produced stimulating essays on the practice of art or the work of other artists: for example, reevaluating the work of the abstract expressionists with a queer eye; elaborating on the role of awkwardness and the body in the artistic process; and discussing in depth the role and meanings of color and shape. Featuring a foreword by Lynne Tillman, \u003cem\u003eFaux Pas\u003c\/em\u003e gathers a significant selection of Sillman’s essays, reviews and lectures, accompanied by drawings, most of them made specially for the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaux Pas\u003c\/em\u003e aims at revealing the coherence and originality of Sillman’s reflection, as she addresses the possibilities of art today, favoring excess over good taste, wrestling over dandyism, forms over symbols, with as much critical sense as humor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3rd Party","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52881856201067,"sku":"9782492650048","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0435\/8917\/3409\/files\/SHOPIFYFRAME_1_e790b3af-7f47-4b33-a059-3ff07422da6d.png?v=1773436382","url":"https:\/\/cart.davidzwirner.com\/products\/amy-sillman-faux-pas","provider":"David Zwirner Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
