Pink Drawing #85 pulses with the restless, improvisational energy that defines Amy Sillman's practice on paper. Executed in acrylic, gouache, and ink, the work layers fluid gestural marks against one another in a push and pull of color, line, and form that resists easy resolution. At 76.2 by 57.2 centimeters, the sheet commands real physical presence, its modest format belying the density of decision-making compressed within it. The pink ground, inflected by the chromatic incidents that accumulate across its surface, gives the composition a warm psychological charge without tipping into sentimentality. Sillman, who lives and works in New York, is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous and intellectually alive painters working today. Her practice moves fluidly between painting, drawing, lo-fi animation, and writing, treating each medium as a continuous site of inquiry rather than a hierarchy of outputs. Drawing, for Sillman, is not preparation for painting but a fully realized mode of thinking in real time, and works like this one demonstrate why her works on paper have attracted sustained critical and collector attention. She is represented by Gladstone Gallery in New York, and her institutional profile continues to grow, with a solo presentation at Camden Arts Centre in London forthcoming in late 2018. Dated 2016 and signed by the artist, Pink Drawing #85 is offered through the Wooster Group Benefit Auction and will be framed following the sale. For collectors drawn to work that holds genuine critical rigor alongside visceral pictorial pleasure, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characteristic and accomplished example of Sillman's work on paper.
