The first museum survey of New York–based painter Amy Sillman will contain drawings, paintings, and ‘zines, as well as the artist’s recent forays into animated film. Curated by Helen Molesworth and presented at the ICA Boston (October 3, 2013–January 5, 2014), and coordinated for the Aspen Art Museum by AAM curator Jacob Proctor, Amy Sillman: one lump or two covers the period from 1995 to the present—tracing the developments in Sillman’s work from her early use of cartoon figures and a vivacious palette, to her exploration of the diagrammatic line, the history of Abstract Expressionism, and her growing concern with the bodily and the erotic dimensions of paint. The exhibition will focus on the importance of drawing in Sillman’s practice, as well as the intensity with which she has embraced the dichotomy between figuration and abstraction.
