Description: Contemporary African Artists: Changing Tradition The Studio Museum in Harlem, 1990 Publisher: Studio Museum in Harlem; First Edition (January 1, 1990) Language: English Softcover; 148 pages ISBN-10: 4294903X ISBN-13: 978-0942949032 Weight: 0.75 lb Size: 8.5” x 0.5” x 11” Condition: Very Good condition. Was in gallery collection and barely used. Published on the occasion of the exhibition “Contemporary African Artists: Changing Tradition”, January 21- May 6, 1990. The exhibit features artists currently working in Africa, selecting art only from the previous ten years, and is not considered a comprehensive survey of the entire continent. The focus is chiefly on the sub-Saharan Africa, and those countries with a history and current activity in the visual arts. After three years of research in African and in the U.S., Studio Museum Curator Grace Stanislaus identified nine artists from six countries whose work, in her words 'represent some of the more compelling examples of the art of modern expression, technique, and medium produced in their countries.' She also found in these artists a commitment to their profession under conditions that many western artists are not asked to face. Most of the artists are relatively well known in their countries, but virtually unknown outside of them, and have created works that challenge our notions of contemporary and African art.
