This is the first survey book on this subject to be published primarily by a major international publishing house, and reflects the growing global interest in the dynamic art of this country. South African Art Now covers the years 1968 to 2008 - from the period of the glory days of resistance art right up to the ever changing and compelling present, examining the art and artists against the background of a country struggling to achieve transformation. About 100 artists are represented in page after page of stunning visuals, from well established international art stars like William Kentridge, Marlene Dumas and Moshekwa Langa to the emerging generation of hot young artists like Nandipha Mntambo and Mikhael Subotzky. Contributing essays have been written by international curator Okwui Enwezor, and director of New York's PERFORMA Biennial, RoseLee Goldberg. Nobel laureate Nadine Gordimer has written the foreword. International superstar and a major collector of contemporary photography, Elton John, has contributed an appreciation. Beautifully designed, the book is essential for art lovers, researchers, libraries, and all those interested in contemporary culture.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Good jacket. The dust jacket is shelf rubbed and edge worn, with some small, closed tears along the edges. Despite this, it remains bright, whole and intact. The boards are a touch rubbed but strong and sturdy. Internally, there are no markings or inscriptions and the pages within are neat, crisp and complete. Tightly bound and presents handsomely in cellophane. JK.
