Author Description

Spanning the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, this two-volume set is the most comprehensive publication on the modern and contemporary art of Singapore. A total of seventy-one texts have been assembled for the two readers, featuring writings by art historians, art critics, curators from sources as diverse as exhibition catalogues, academic journals, interviews, books, newspapers and art magazines. It is intended for the texts presented in these readers -- many of which are primary or translated into English for the first time -- to enable students, scholars and art historians to construct new narratives and discourses in Singapore art.
