Artists of the Middle East

1900 to Now
An Art Newspaper Art Book of the Year

The first-ever A–Z of the major modern and contemporary artists of the Middle East, a region attracting international attention for its new museums, private collections, exhibitions and art fairs.

Saeb Eigner shares his intimate knowledge of the stylistic, literary and linguistic histories of the Middle East and North Africa in the detailed biographies of almost 100 culturally significant artists from the region, ranging from early modernists such as Shafic Abboud, Marwan, Bahman Mohassess and Gazbia Sirry to contemporary artists such as Mona Hatoum, Nabil Nahas and Shirin Neshat. Concise profiles of almost 160 additional artists offer further insight into those shaping this rich cultural landscape.

This essential, illuminating resource for anyone interested in modern and contemporary art establishes a dialogue between works that engage with the prominent issues of our age and the ever-changing social, political and religious context of their creation.
