Getsys text analyzes Milners interventions in the Clyfford Still Museum and the unrequited love of making artwork in an institution that cannot avow it. Getsy, Patricia Failing, and Rickey Laurentiis. The book features text by Milner, a foreword by former CSM Director Dean Sobel, and newly-commissioned texts by David J. Designed and edited by Milner, Museum of the Invisible Woman (Clyfford Still Museum and Adam Milner, 2021, softbound with jacket, 144 pages, color) will be available in the Clyfford Still Museum Shop and online in the coming weeks. In the publication, themes surrounding love, labor, gender, ego, and legacy ultimately shift attention from the abstract expressionist master to his wife and to museum staff. The book repositions Clyfford Still as an artist dependent on community and the labor of loved ones, rather than the usual narrative of outsider, rebel, or loner genius. During the project, Milner combined archival research with in-situ interventions at the Museum to center explorations around Patricia Still, Clyfford Stills second wife, who dedicated her life to his painting career and eventually to fulfilling Stills vision for the Museum. Artist Adam Milner recently completed a unique, two-year project with the Clyfford Still Museum (CSM), concluding with the forthcoming publication, Museum of the Invisible Woman.
