Painting is one of the oldest art-historical mediums, yet its influence remains strong, with new generations of artists continuously innovating and breathing new life into the medium.

This book brings together 108 artists from 44 countries, with works ranging from immersive exhibitions with massive wall paintings to quiet, minuscule compositions. All artists included were nominated by a global panel of 57 high-profile art experts, including museum directors, curators, historians, and critics, and the work of each is showcased through richly illustrated pages of their work, including both individual paintings and exhibition views, giving the reader an inclusive overview of their practice. The artist s entries are accompanied by informative texts authored by a roster of acclaimed art writers, introducing each artist and their practice.

As with previous volumes in the Vitamin series, this book is an essential addition to the libraries of all followers of contemporary art.
