Abstract: "With the help of several of the most outstanding curators currently active in Peru, this book succeeds in offering a first attempt at assessing the collection from a diverse set of gazes and perspectives. This plurality reveals the richness and multiplicity of art in Peru today, a discipline which is experiencing a new found dynamism that goes beyond our borders." --Page [6]. The fine edited catalogue comprises art works created from 1960 to present days by famous artistic names such as Mariella Agois, Fernando Bedoya, Fernando Bryce, Teresa Burga, Alberto Casari, Jorge Eduardo Eielson, Philippe Gruenberg, Johanna Hamann, Billy Hare, Pablo Hare, Rafael Hastings, Edi Hirose, Emilio Rodríguez Larraín, José Carlos Martinat, Carlos Runcie Tanaka, Juan Javier Salazar, Fernando de Szyszlo, Elena Tejada, José Tola, Ricardo Wiesse, Sergio Zevallos, David Zink Yi, amongst other Peruvian artists. The book also comprises works by acclaimed international artists like Alexander Apóstol, Yoshua Okón, Cornelia Parker, Melanie Smith, Pablo Vargas Lugo, and many more. Some of these works from the Collection of Contemporary Art have never been exhibited in the Museum, and are presented exclusively for the first time in this book. Acquisitions from recent years will be shown in a major temporary exhibition in 2015.
