Her works are also held in the collections of institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. For the Museum of Modern Art’s reopening in fall 2019, and on view until October 2020, Sillman curated the exhibition, “Artist’s Choice: Amy Sillman-The Shape of Shape.” Her newest book Amy Sillman: Faux Pas: Selected Writings and Drawings, with a foreword by author Lynne Tillman, was published in October.
The Alex Katz Chair was founded in 1999 by the School of Art with generous support by alumnus Alex Katz. The Chair provides a one-semester visiting professorship to a distinguished artist working in the fields of Painting and Drawing.
