Amy Sillman. Oh, Clock!, 2024
Edited by Nina Zimmer
Amy Sillman's painting expands the rules of abstraction by means of material and conceptual interventions in the painting process. In her cross-media approach to painting, she destabilizes dichotomies and hierarchies between figuration and abstraction, intimacy and awkwardness, skill and self-denial, and process and closure. The publication "Amy Sillman: Oh, Clock!" illuminates her critical engagement with the history of painting and conveys her complex painterly working methods on and beyond the canvas. The stimulatingly designed book provides insights into Sillman's approach to painting as a time-based medium. Around thirty paintings and three hundred works on paper, several digital animations, and site-specific installations, all of which were created in the last fifteen years, are presented in more detail.
