The two-volume Companion to Islamic Art and Architecture bridges
the gap between monograph and survey text by providing a new level
of access and interpretation to Islamic art. The more than 50 newly
commissioned essays revisit canonical topics, and include original
approaches and scholarship on neglected aspects of the field. *
This two-volume Companion showcases more than 50 specially
commissioned essays and an introduction that survey Islamic art and
architecture in all its traditional grandeur * Essays are organized
according to a new chronological-geographical paradigm that remaps
the unprecedented expansion of the field and reflects the nuances
of major artistic and political developments during the 1400-year
span * The Companion represents recent developments in the field,
and encourages future horizons by commissioning innovative essays
that provide fresh perspectives on canonical subjects, such as
early Islamic art, sacred spaces, palaces, urbanism, ornament, arts
of the book, and the portable arts while introducing others that
have been previously neglected, including unexplored geographies
and periods, transregional connectivities, talismans and magic,
consumption and networks of portability, museums and collecting,
and contemporary art worlds; the essays entail strong comparative
and historiographic dimensions * The volumes are accompanied by a
map, and each subsection is preceded by a brief outline of the main
cultural and historical developments during the period in question
* The volumes include periods and regions typically excluded from
survey books including modern and contemporary art-architecture;
China, Indonesia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Sicily, the New World
