Description
Ghada Amer: A Monograph of Her Artistic Vision. This comprehensive monograph presents the full breadth of Ghada Amer's artistic practice, featuring numerous images and detailed commentary on her paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, videos, performances, and garden works. Through a combination of abstract hand-embroidered tracings and often provocative erotic imagery, Amer challenges the authority of various cultural and commercial forces that have historically subjugated women. The book includes contributions from art historians Maura Reilly and Laurie Farrell, as well as a conversation between Amer and scholar Martine Antle. A complete chronology, exhibition list, and bibliography are also included, providing a definitive resource for understanding the artist's career trajectory. With its extensive range of images and scholarly commentary, this monograph offers a unique insight into Ghada Amer's innovative and thought-provoking artistic vision.
