"Still, Looking: Works 1969–2016" is a collection of works by American artist Billy Sullivan (1946-). For nearly half a century, starting in the late 1960s, Sullivan has been photographing his family, lovers, friends, and muses amidst the whirlwind of New York's art, fashion, and underground culture. He has continued his unique creative process, developing these photographs into oil paintings, pastels, and slide installations. This book traces the trajectory of this constant dialogue between photographs and paintings, and can be described as a "visual autobiography" structured not chronologically but according to the flow of memory. Many contemporary artists and cultural figures who shaped the scene appear, including Nan Goldin and Cookie Mueller, but they are depicted not as celebrities, but rather as close friends and collaborators in the creative process. His frank and sincere gaze is free from voyeuristic stares or excessive nostalgia, quietly capturing the beauty, desire, love, and transience of passing time that reside in the mundane everyday life. This is Billy Sullivan's masterpiece, offering an inside look at half a century of Bohemian New York through the life of one writer.
