Amy Sillman has become one of the most influential figures of 21st century painting, as she moves across media seamlessly, integrating elements such as collage, drawing and printmaking into her practice. Sillman considers drawing to be the point of departure for all her work. She also explores gestural modes of production in her inkjet-printed and silkscreened canvases, zines and more recently in her animated iPhone videos.

Amy Sillman’s recent retrospective exhibition took place at Kunstmuseum Bern and Ludwig Forum, Aachen. A comprehensive presentation of paintings on paper by the artist was on view in the exhibition The Milk of Dreams, curated by Cecilia Alemani at the 59th Biennale di Venezia. Sillman has held solo exhibitions at major international institutions, most recently at the Arts Club of Chicago; The Camden Arts Center, London, and Kunsthaus Bregenz, as well as group shows at the Lenbachhaus, Munich; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Tate Modern, London, and MoMA, New York.

Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the MoMA, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris; Morderna Museet, Stockholm; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Art Institute of Chicago; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Museum Brandhorst, Munich, and many more.
