By looking critically at the history and historiography of mid-20th century abstraction, the exhibition considers art from North Africa and West Asia as integral to the discourse on global modernism. At its heart, the project raises a fundamental art historical question: How do we study abstraction across different contexts and what models of analysis do we use? Examining how and why artists investigated the expressive capacities of line, color, and texture, Taking Shape highlights a number of abstract movements that developed in the Middle East, North Africa, and West Asia, as well as the Arab diaspora."--Artsy website (accessed 18/2/20). 650 0 $a Art, Arab $y 20th century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Abstract expressionism $z Arab countries $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Takesh, Suheyla, $e editor. 700 1 $a Gumpert, Lynn, $e author of foreword. $e author of foreword. 700 1 $a Dadi, Iftikhar, $e author. 710 2 $a Grey Art Gallery, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Herbert F.
