THE GLOBAL ART COMPASS WITH A TURKISH CHAPTER

'Istanbul is one of the art world’s barometers. The future of art’s direction is partly in Turkey’s hands. If the domestic political and religious climate drown the excitement of a hub where artists are challenging the status quo of a globalised, homogenised world culture, if collectors, curators and artists themselves become too enthralled to New York, then the art market, money-driven trajectory is more likely to win out over the richer and more diverse offerings that alternative centres such as Istanbul are currently delivering.' 

This Turkish edition of Global Art Compass has an extra chapter that writes about 14 Turkish artists. 264 pages with 194 illustrations.

The Global Art Compass: New Directions in 21st Century Art

'When, at the age of seventeen, I saw Nefertiti, I instantly knew she was from another world, but as I walked round her glass case I recognised in her things that were missing from my own life ... the aim of this book is to encourage people to activate their own innate bearings to the exciting developments in the art world.'

Global Art Compass is a bigoted survey of 21st century art. It encourages us to look beyond just the works the market hypes to the wide range of artistic attempts to show what is happening around the world. It talks about some 200 living artists with 150 illustrations.
