Rethinking the Contemporary Art of Iran

Rethinking the Contemporary Art of Iran embodies an extensive range of artists work_x0002_ing in a variety of media, with more attention paid to the younger generation who have been underrepresented in recent publications and those whose work signifies the contemporary. The book includes three comprehensive texts framing the `Contemporary¿ art of Iran, contextualising the visual materials in the subsequent sections. Illustrated throughout with strong narrative content, the texts offer multiple perspectives on contempora_x0002_neity, plurality, and history together with extensive ideas about contemporary art practices in Iran and its diaspora. They are followed by sections on individual artists. With over 450 colour images, each section is accompanied by texts commenting on the artists¿ oeuvre as a whole and the works appearing on the pages. The book ends with artists¿ biographies, general bibliography and an index.
