Faux Pas. Selected Writings and Drawings (Expanded Edition)
Amy Sillman
Published by After 8 Books, Paris, 2022, 300 pp. (b/w ill.), 12 × 18.5 cm, English
Price: €20

A key figure in the New York art scene, Amy Sillman is renowned for her singular approach to painting and drawing. Her writings extend a practice that challenges traditions and theoretical frameworks with criticality and humor, and advocates subjectivity: she reevaluates Abstract Expressionism with a queer eye, explores the meanings of color and shape, and discusses in depth the work of other artists—from Delacroix (and Cézanne!) to Maria Lassnig to Carolee Schneemann to Laura Owens. In Faux Pas, a collection of her most recent essays, alongside her cartoons and original drawings, art—as personal as it is political—is a practice that responds to today’s struggles.

Wir Ungestalten
Peter Fischli
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2022, 52 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 24.7 × 26.8 cm, German
Price: €18

This publication is released in conjunction with Peter Fischli’s exhibition 12 Arbeiten ohne Titel at Galerie Buchholz Cologne. It presents collages based on photographs taken throughout Zurich. For the past three years, the artist has documented peculiar “remnants of nocturnal revelry”: cars, park benches, and building façades sprayed with shaving foam—easily removable vandalistic interventions into the urban fabric, gestures of infinitesimal subversion. The foam figments are formless, lacking both definite shape and durable substance.

*Please note this publication is secondhand and has some traces of previous ownership.
