World Art Manifestos will be a complementary text to the Penguin Modern Classic 100 Artists' Manifestos: From the Futurists to the Stuckists. Given the ever-growing prominence of Latin American, Far and Middle Eastern and African art on the global stage, this book is especially relevant to today's contemporary art scene. This collection of 100 vital, and yet perhaps lesser-known manifestos, voices the fascinating ideologies of more easily overlooked artistic movements of the last century across the world. Lack brings something fresh and thought-provoking to the conversation on why art, in all its guises, is a social and political necessity.
