Book Talk: The Development of An Art History in the UAE
On December 3, AGSIW hosted a discussion on contemporary art in the United Arab Emirates.
In her latest publication, The Development of An Art History in the UAE, Sophie Kazan Makhlouf delves into the evolution of art history in the United Arab Emirates through the work of local artists. Through interviews and first-hand accounts, this book draws together an oral and visual art history of a country that is extremely rich in culture and history but that is often overlooked or underestimated. By observing the country’s history and visual culture and the artistic practices of select artists from the UAE, it considers the development of contemporary art from the UAE and how cultural and artistic identities are formed.
