Summary:

In 1989, a large scale exhibition in Paris bringing together over 100 artists, around half from the 'West' and half from elsewhere, contributed to a radical shift in the Western art system. 'Magicians de la Terre' argued for the universality of the creative impulse and offered direct aesthetic experience of contemporary works of art made globally. In this book, photographs and gallery plans reconstruct the exhibition in detail. Essays provide an extended examination of its history and context to look at the discursive and curatorial legacy, and responses from the time.
