Softcover | 20.12 x 9.53 x 1.04 cm | 64 pp | 54 illustrations
Yale University Press | 2013 | 9780300197754
This catalogue accompanied the artist's solo exhibition commissioned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York in 2013. It includes colour plates of art works, an interview with the artist by Ian Alteveer and Navina Najat Haidar, the artist's biography, and bibliography.
Extending and challenging the Islamic art traditions in which he trained, Qureshi incorporates the lessons of abstract painting in his investigations into ornamentation, line, and colour. From paintings and works on paper that reflect the relationship between Islam and the West to site-specific installations that operate on an architectural scale, the artist examines what connects us across cultures and throughout time.
