Critics Review
‘Amy Sillman is one of the most important, inventive, and intelligent painters of our time. This book offers a cogent yet probing introduction to her life and work. If you’re already a fan, you’ll learn more. If you don’t know her work yet, welcome to its rigorous, rabble-rousing, often ravishing ride.’ - Maggie Nelson
‘Amy Sillman is among a handful of painters whose work is essential for our time. Her paintings are formally astute, witty, anecdotal, and deeply felt. Valerie Smith has done an excellent job of documenting Sillman’s circuitous evolution, focusing our attention on the ways in which the artist’s multi-faceted interests are embedded in her paintings.’ – David Salle
