Combining an encyclopaedic scope with large, beautiful and representative visuals of the work of every artist featured, this very welcome addition to Phaidon’s iconic “The Art Book” series includes more than 300 African modern and contemporary artists. Both an inspiration and an essential reference, this book is a must for every serious lover of the continent’s burgeoning creative scene. Now hopefully large numbers of these artists will go on to have individual monographs devoted to their work published in the near future. Your move, publishers.
