""Mediating Modernisms is a groundbreaking project that substantially adds to our understanding of the emergence of artists practicing Indigenous modernisms by looking closely at the role intermediaries played in their training and exposure to metropolitan currents of modernism, as well as providing access to institutions, patrons, and markets for modernist Indigenous artists. This extraordinary volume offers a fundamental reorientation of and challenge to prevailing conceptions in studies of modernist art practices.""--Iftikhar Dadi, author of ""Modernism and the Art of Muslim South Asia"" ""With a wide and deep scope, this collection examines the role of mediators in the two-way street between modernizations made by Indigenous artists and those that constitute non-Indigenous artistic modernism in the twentieth century. Mediating Modernisms is a welcome realization of a long and carefully conducted research project on a key topic within the history of art, conducted by exemplary scholars and on a world-wide scale matched by few others of its kind.""--Terry Smith, author of ""Art to Come: Histories of Contemporary Art""
