Women and Contemporary Art in the Gulf offers a unique focus on the roles of women in contemporary art, cultural production and arts institutions in the Gulf.Drawing on in-person experiences of the art and sites discussed, as well as research on regional artists and arts institutions, DeTurk argues that the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been largely excluded from the critical discourse about, and display of, contemporary Middle Eastern art. The book addresses this oversight by providing an examination of the work of several contemporary women artists from the Gulf region. DeTurk also discusses the role of women in museums and cultural institutions in the region, as well as the education systems available to emerging women artists. The discussion and analysis at the heart of the book connect to a range of larger themes, including the visual culture of patriarchy, connection to material culture and heritage, religious beliefs, trade and migration, rapid development, and the need to envision and create a post-oil economy. Women and Contemporary Art in the Gulf, with its examination of the critical role women play in the formation of the cultural landscape of the Gulf, is an important contribution to discourse around the changing role of the GCC. It will be essential reading for scholars and students engaged in the study of art history, visual culture, museums and heritage, and women and gender studies.

Through several case studies, this book suggests ways in which the art of early modern Venice, particularly its paintings, may be interpreted through a hybrid analysis of their visual form and social context to expand our understanding of women as active participants in the social, intellectual, economic, and political life of the early modern Republic.In the same way that the urban character and identity of early modern Venice can be seen as liminal and changeable, the art of the city also evinces a mutability, a way in which images are never exactly what they seem to be. This, Sabrina DeTurk argues, is particularly true in reference to the representation of women in the art of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Venetian art. Chapters allow the artworks, along with other objects of material culture, to enter into new conversations with each other, with their original audiences and with contemporary viewers in ways that allow a fuller understanding of the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of women’s lives in Renaissance Venice.This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, gender studies, and Renaissance studies.
