Celebrating the Barjeel Art Foundation's expansive collection, this book maps a genealogy of modern and contemporary Arab art. Based in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, the Barjeel Art Foundation was established to contribute to the development of the evolving art scene in the Arab region by building a prominent, publicly accessible art collection in the UAE. Over time it has grown to become one of the most holistic collections of Arab art, fostering critical dialogue around art practices both in the region and internationally. Spanning a period from the turn of the twentieth century to the present day, this publication tells a striking visual story of artists who challenged the notions of tradition, territory, and geography. features many rarely seen works by artists across the region from North Africa to the Gulf states as well as Western Asia.
