Let's Go India explores the contemporary art of India in a volume as colourful, vibrant and diverse as the country itself Encompassing a broad range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography and installation, this book, a catalogue for an exhibition at the Essl Museum in Austria, features more than one hundred works by artists and collectives from all over India. Themes of identity, urbanization, spirituality and politics reflect the country's recent transformation into a global power. Accompanying the reproductions are essays that explore the impact of the economic revolution on India and its society and focus on the modern art of specific geographic regions throughout the country. Looking beyond the popular Bollywood-influenced images of twenty-first-century India, this important volume reveals the complex artistic practices taking place throughout the country.
