Contemporary Art from Nigeria in the Global Markets : Trending in the Margins, Hardback Book

Contemporary Art from Nigeria in the Global Markets : Trending in the Margins Hardback

Part of the Sociology of the Arts series

Hardback

Description

This book brings together from four years of study on Nigerian contemporary art's internationalization.

The monograph integrates voices of African (Nigerian) artists and art market players into the growing discourse on the emerging art markets in the global South.

It explores the logic of competition and dynamics of power relations in the global markets, focusing on the internationalization of contemporary art forms from peripheral regions.

The book confirms that the internationalization of contemporary art form from Nigeria is limited due to systematic marginalization in the artistic field, which in this case based on postcolonialism, and debilitating socio-economic factors such as outmoded art education, unstructured support system and weak mechanism for local validation, and an inefficient political framework for art governance. It will therefore be useful to students and researchers in the sociology of art, art market studies, art history and culture polity.
