Amy Sillman (born 1955) is a New York-based visual artist, known for process-based paintings that move between abstraction and figuration, and engage nontraditional media including animation, zines and installation.[1][2][3] Her work draws upon art historical tropes, particularly postwar American gestural painting, as both influences and foils; she engages feminist critiques of the discourses of mastery, genius and power in order to introduce qualities such as humor, awkwardness, self-deprecation, affect and doubt into her practice.[4][5][6] Profiles in The New York Times, ARTnews,[3]Frieze,[7] and Interview,[8] characterize Sillman as championing "the relevance of painting"[2] and "a reinvigorated mode of abstraction reclaiming the potency of active brushwork and visible gestures."[1] Critic Phyllis Tuchman described Sillman as "an inventive abstractionist" whose "messy, multivalent, lively" art "reframes long-held notions regarding the look and emotional character of abstraction."[9]
Sillman has exhibited at institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA),[10] Whitney Museum,[11] Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston,[12] and Portikus (Frankfurt).[13] She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship[14] and awards from the Joan Mitchell, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Pollock-Krasner foundations,[15][16][17] and her art belongs to the public collections of MoMA,[10] the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[18] and Tate Modern, among other recognition.[19]
