Vietnam Eye: Contemporary Vietnamese Art

Description

An essential and comprehensive book on contemporary art in Vietnam today. Vietnam has developed rapidly in the last ten years with a new generation of contemporary artists who balance cultural and social issues with a very contemporary outlook, and who bring awareness of international art world trends to their work. The eighth volume of the "Eye" series, dedicated to contemporary art from Vietnam, focuses on a unique and exciting collection of artworks from emerging Vietnamese artists. The book provides a wide-ranging survey of contemporary art in Vietnam, showcasing seventy-five outstanding contemporary artists from Vietnam and their works. Like the previous Malaysian, Hong Kong, Korean, Indonesian, Singapore and Thailand "Eye" books, Vietnam Eye aims to provide a panoramic view of the situation of contemporary art in the country; it is therefore an important reference publication.
