These gorgeously designed volumes offer an informal and yet detailed introduction to the most prominent figures of Arab art. The collection is characterized by medium-size books, each one dedicated to a single artist, richly illustrated and rigorously documented.

The publications, published in English and Arabic editions, are launched seasonally, in spring and fall, two by two, in a sophisticated cardboard slipcase. Each slipcase presents a Saudi artist along with a non-Saudi artist.

Misk Art Institute is Saudi Arabia's leading non-profit cultural organization that empowers local artists through an interconnected ecosystem of support, expertise, and education.

Art historian Mona Khazindar is an expert in modern and contemporary Arab visual arts. Formerly director general of the Institut du monde arabe, to which she was devoted for more than twenty years, and curator of a large number of very important exhibitions, Khazindar is the author of Visions from Abroad, Historical and Contemporary Representations of Arabia (Skira, 2019).

Founded in 1945 in Florence, Mondadori Electa, part of the Mondadori Group, publishes art titles, exhibition catalogues, fiction, children's books and illustrated volumes on subjects ranging from reportage to fashion, photography, design, music, cinema and travel.

Mondadori Electa SpA was founded in 1989. The Company's line of business includes publishing and printing books and pamphlets.

Muhannad Shono is a visual artist who feels no limitation to medium or scale. His multidisciplinary practice is catalyzed and structured by story. Shono's work harnesses the power of narrative by creating and contesting personal, collective, and historical truths.

Salah Elmur's work is composed of a fertile visual vocabulary that draws on his social and cultural heritage. Inspired by the many photographs he has collected from his family's photography studio, Elmur's paintings often emulate formal portrait settings with additional elements that complement but also unsettle the mood in his paintings.

An international publisher known for quality fine art publishing around the world, Skira publishes over 250 new titles each year. Additionally, aside from publishing catalogues for major global events, the company is also, and above all, the most important player in Italy in the fields of exhibition conception and production.
