Artbook @ MoMA PS1 presents Amy Sillman and Lynne Tillman in conversation for the virtual launch of 'Amy Sillman: Faux Pas, Selected Writings and Drawings'

This 272-page essay collection is funny, insightful and honest—exactly what we want to read right now. Jason Farago mentions it in a recent Times feature on Sillman, whose work is on view through November 14 at Gladstone Gallery. "Indeed Ms. Sillman is in a thin crowd (with, let’s say, Andrea Fraser, Hito Steyerl, Matias Faldbakken, David Salle) of artists who can really write. The evidence is in Faux Pas… her writings that display the same good humor and intelligence of her best paintings." Click here to read the full review or here for more information on the book.
