THE GLOBAL AFRICA PROJECT IN JOHANNESBURG

Author: Lowery Stokes Sims and Leslie King-Hammond Publisher: Prestel () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: As New Binding: Softcover Pages: 264 Dimensions: 25.8 x 20.5 x 2.8 cm +++ by Lowery Stokes Sims and Leslie King-Hammond +++ Artists and designers of African ancestry - many in Africa but also others throughout Europe, the Americas, and the Far East - are working in a wide array of mediums: fashion, architecture, non-traditional crafts, design, fine art, and photography. Authors Lowery Stokes Sims and Leslie King-Hammond, together with six contributors, challenge presumptions of what constitutes an 'African' style or aesthetic, and demonstrate the power and expressive potential of materials, textures and forms. A wide-ranging survey of contemporary African art and design.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
