Title: The empire strikes back - Indian Art Today
Description: Jonathan Cape, London, 2009. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 186. Indian art has gone through a boom period in parallel with the extraordinary economic rise of the subcontinent from an agrarian state to a high tech axis of the new global economy. With new money came a new gallery system. With bigger spaces came bigger art and the sheer scale of ambition led to a break into the international market, which is always keen to find a new spectacular presence in the art world. The new art has also been created against a background of communal tension and violence. The exploration of identity, a common enterprise for artists internationally, is all the more challenging in the context of India under transformation. Above all Indian artists are faced with the legacy of their history and the ghosts of the Raj. This work features an introduction by Zehra Jumabhoy. ISBN: 9780224089494. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
