The definitive publication on internationally acclaimed artist Shahzia Sikander, one of the most influential feminist artists working todayBorn in Pakistan and active in New York since the 1990s, Shahzia Sikander navigates the interplay of multiple identities, encompassing a range of artistic disciplines in her work and critically reinterpreting South Asian material history. Sikander’s distinctly feminist iconography focuses on the narratives of immigrant women to challenge Eurocentric art histories and counter Orientalist scholarship. This volume, published to coincide with a major mid-career retrospective that premiered during the Biennale Art in Venice and will be held concurrently at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive exploration of Sikander’s ideas and art. With hundreds of images, many presented as a full page or an entire spread, the richly illustrated book immerses readers in Sikander’s vibrant and subversive art.

In the ancient Mediterranean and West Asian worlds, queens and royal dynastic women, including Arsinoe II, Ada, Naqia and Cleopatra VII, maintained power through their artistic portrayal, their cultural patronage and their relationship with cult worship. Ancient Queenship: Art, Power, and Presence recovers the lived experiences, responsibilities and public personas of dynastic women. Sources drawn from the first millennium BCE to today question our assumptions on queenly status, and ask us to reconsider who holds power, to examine how histories are created and altered, and to centre the often-unexplored narratives of royal women.The volume looks at how the theme of queenship has been “re-owned” and repositioned over time by creating conversation between ancient objects and artworks and ephemera dating from the 15th to the 21st century. These dynamic visions of ancient feminine power occupy new contexts in contemporary popular culture. The blurring of the historical and archaeological records with more modern mythologies, especially those of Salome and the Queen of Sheba, continue to facilitate new connections with royal women over 2000 years old.Ancient Queenship features over 60 artworks drawn from international museum collections, and includes a specially-commissioned piece by contemporary artist Maryam Yousif.
