Description: Contemporary African since 1980 is the first comprehensive survey of the work of contemporary African artists from diverse situations, locations, and generations -- artists whose practices engage the aesthetic, social, cultural and geopolitical upheavals and complexities of the continent and the world from 1980 to 2009. Far-reaching in its analysis, this book is absorbed with historical transitions, from the postcolonial utopias of the decolonization era of the 1960s to the postcolonial realism embodied by the economic crises incited by globalization of the 1980s and beyond. Lavishly illustrated, this book offers compelling and vivid examples of work by 157 of the most notable African artists of the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. This book covers the spectrum of contemporary artistic media, from painting, sculpture, drawing, and collage, to photography, video, installation, and performance. It also assesses aesthetic forms and genres, including figuration, abstraction, and conceptualism. This book has 368 pages and 470 color plates.
