{"product_id":"contemporary-indonesian-art-yvonne-spielmann-9789814722360","title":"Contemporary Indonesian Art: Artists, Art Spaces, and Collectors","description":"Indonesia's contemporary art scene is fast becoming a favorite among collectors and critics, taking its place alongside the growing interest in works from China, India, and Korea. Pieces by Indonesian artists are selling for record-breaking prices, and the country is preparing to open its first Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art this fall. After decades of struggling to find representation in international galleries and museums, Indonesia is staking its claim as a key player in the global art world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eContemporary Indonesian Art\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive introduction to the country's key artists, curators, institutions, and collectors. It demonstrates how early artists broke from colonial and post-colonial power structures and shows how today's artists grapple with issues of identity, globalization, and nation-building in Indonesia. The survey crosses ethnic, cultural, and religious boundaries, combining the traditional (batik, woodcut, dance, and Javanese shadow puppet theater) with the contemporary (comics and manga, graffiti, and advertising). Taken together, it is a powerful argument for why Indonesia is becoming a major force in the international art community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yvonne Spielmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9814722367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789814722360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National University of Singapore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 7.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Yvonne Spielmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302365360383,"sku":"9789814722360","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d550e298-0502-4bda-a4d9-ef5c32235af6.jpg?v=1695161115","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-indonesian-art-yvonne-spielmann-9789814722360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
