Book Reviews of Amy Sillman: Works on Paper
Book Review: artist of our time!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is really a work of art itself. I love the work of Amy Sillman and though I can't afford one of her works, this book is as close as one can get. You can really experience the work up close and the different qualities of the paper and comments by Koestenbaum are pure poetry! Its truly a dedication to a great woman artist.
If you are an art lover, you need to experience this artist!!!
Summary of Amy Sillman: Works on Paper
Works on Paper marks the first major publication of the work of noted New York painter Amy Sillman, whose rapidly growing reputation and increasingly recognized influence on other artists make its timing ideal. Her paintings and drawings are at once narrative and decorative, filled with quirky figures and diminutive, patterned elements. Her works on paper, which she considers particularly central to her art-making practice and her wider portfolio, are often made up of multiple components. They create the feeling of an extended and meandering sequence of events, and have been described as reminiscent of both film loops and long letters to her viewers. Works on Paper consists of four major series of Sillman??s drawings, all recent and documented by brilliant full-color photographs. It also includes an essay by acclaimed writer Wayne Koestenbaum, who has long been celebrated for both his poetry and prose, and who has become one of our most innovative and influential writers on contemporary art and culture. His lavish, seductive and humorous writing style is the perfect complement to Sillman??s lyrical works. This book is a delightful introduction to a rising star.History Books
