| Summary: | "Misk Art Institute is proud to announce the launch of a legacy initiative, The Art Library. The initiative aims to enrich the documentation of Arab art history over a series of publications. 'The Art Library: Discovering Arab Artists' is an initiative that focuses on documenting and publishing a series of books that contextualizes the artistic methods and journeys of prominent Arab artists that played a significant role in shaping the Arab world's modern and contemporary art scene. The publications, published in Arabic and English, focus on documenting and displaying pivotal works throughout their history, philosophy, and humble experiences. Misk Art Institute is committed to serving content and context to the Arab art sector through an eternal literary celebration of Arab art history for future generations in partnership with Rizzoli International Publications and the esteemed Mona Khazindar as editor."-- These elegantly slipcased volumes offer an informal and yet richly detailed introduction to the most prominent figures of Arab art; the collection is characterized by medium-size books, each one dedicated to a single artist, superbly illustrated and rigorously documented. The series consists of six slipcases with twelve volumes in total and provides a perspective on the trends that influenced modern and contemporary Arab art, from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century to today. The publications henceforth will be launched seasonally, in spring and fall, in sophisticated slipcases each containing two volumes dedicated to a Saudi and a non-Saudi artist. |
