This title sets out to write new transnational South Asian art
histories - to make visible histories of artworks that remain
marginalised within the discipline of art history. However, this is
done through a deliberate 'productive failure' - specifically, by
not upholding the strictly genealogical approach that is regularly
assumed for South Asian art histories. For instance, one chapter
explores the abstract work of Cy Twombly and Natvar Bhavsar. The
author examines 'whiteness', the invisible ground upon which
racialized art histories often pivot, as a fraught yet productive
site for writing art history. This book also provides original
commentary on how queer theory can deconstruct and provide new
approaches for writing art history. Overall, this title provides
methods for generating art history that acknowledge the complex web
of factors within which art history is produced and the different
forms of knowledge-production we might count as art history. -- .
