This new edition of Faux Pas includes new drawings and texts, featuring an unpublished lecture on drawing. Compiled within are Amy Sillman's essays, reviews, and speeches, revealing her unique reflections on contemporary art, prioritising wrestling over superficial elegance and favouring forms over symbols with critical wit.

A prominent figure in the New York art scene since the 1970s, Sillman's diverse body of work spans large-scale expressive paintings, zines, and iPad animations.

In recent years, her stimulating essays have re-examined abstract expressionism through a queer lens, explored the role of awkwardness and the body in art, and delved into the significance of colour and shape.

Amy Sillman, based in New York City (born 1955), is known for merging visceral elements with intellectual depth in her art. Her work has been exhibited globally, including at the Whitney Biennial in 2014 and the Venice Biennale in 2022. She's also a contributor to publications like Bookforum and Artforum, and she's represented by Gladstone Gallery, New York.
