This authoritative, wide-ranging volume surveys the contemporary art of Asia, examining key issues and themes: art's relationship to history and tradition, its engagement with politics, society, and the state, its exploration of consumerism and popular culture, and its interplay with the urban environment.

Artists represent the range of Asian countries, from Indonesia to Japan, Uzbekistan to South Korea, Iran to China. 230 illustrations include calligraphy, painting, sculpture, and photography to performance, installation, video, and Internet art.
