Amy Sillman: one lump or two : The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, MA

“Big, confident, and sensuous works. In front of them, you feel joy and exuberance.” —Boston Globe

Painting is perhaps more vital today than any time since the heyday of the New York School in the late 1940s and 1950s, and Amy Sillman is one of its most influential practitioners and thinkers. Through her dramatic shifts in style, sophisticated writings, and her role as head of the painting program at Bard College’s prestigious MFA program, she has proven that the basic building blocks of 20th-century painting are as relevant as ever.
