Summary

"Signs of Our Times surveys the use of letters or the morphology of words in works by artists from the Arab world and Iran, over the last six decades. This unique book considers the work of more than 40 key artists across three generations, from the early pioneers of the vernacular Letrism movement in the 1950s to artists incorporating the written word in their work today."--Provided by publisher
