In her painting Amy Sillman is expanding the standards of abstraction using 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! sheds light on 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.
