The volume gathers a significant selection of Sillman’s essays, reviews and lectures, most of them made specially for the book.

Her writings extend a practice that challenges traditions and theoretical frameworks with criticality and humour, and advocates subjectivity: she reevaluates Abstract Expressionism with a queer eye, explores the meanings of colour and shape, and discusses in depth the work of other artists—from Delacroix to Maria Lassnig to Laura Owens.
