New Vision: Arab Contemporary Art in the 21st Century offers a comprehensive, scholarly survey of what was happening at the cutting edge of art in the Arab world, opening with five essays that frame contemporary Arab production around issues of diaspora, globalization, identity and audience, and tracing the roots of the region's artistic boom to the political upheavals of the late 20th century. These essays are followed by around 90 illustrated profiles of key artists, organizations and galleries.
