Summary Focusing on India, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand, this book presents different mixes of history and postmodernity. The art deals with the old and the new, the supposed opposites of the traditional and the contemporary, and how individual artists in Asia today accept, integrate, and/or reject them. Key themes include politics, religion, the environment, and women's issues. Biographies of the 27 artists, chronologies of recent events in the five countries, and a bibliography round out the picture, making this volume a valuable resource for collectors, scholars, and students of contemporary art
