Out of print. Some wear on cover but otherwise great condition. "This book provides a comprehensive overview of New York–based painter Amy Sillman’s most recent bodies of work (2011–16), including diagrams, drawings, animations, sculpture, and large-scale abstractions that combine painting with digital prints on canvas, shown serially in panoramic installations. The title of the book, and the exhibition it accompanies at Frankfurt’s Portikus, refers to a concept often used to describe abstract painting. Much of Sillman’s oeuvre can be categorized as such, although her abstractions often suggest recognizable forms and figures. In the 24-canvas series Panorama , motifs seem to run continuously around the walls of the exhibition space, but in fact are repeated prints of the artist’s drawings with painterly interventions. The materiality is lost through the superimposition of print and oil paint; what remains is pure color and gesture. Also present here are stills from an animation developed by Sillman to be exhibited alongside Panorama and an insert made especially for the book by the artist."
