'This monograph tracks over six decades of work by Rasheed Araeen. Published to accompany the artist's first comprehensive retrospective, it includes nine essays and a conversation with the artist that examine the stages in his self-described "journey" and the work's enduring themes of equality, geometry, universality, and more.

An inventory of over 500 works (1953 to 2017) with rich colour reproductions offers a valuable record of his output. It spans his early experiments in painting in Karachi (1950s to 1960s); his geometric Structures (1964 onwards); his collage, performance, and photography following his political awakening (1970s to 1980s); the nine-panel "cruciform" works (1980 to 1990s) up to his recent abstract paintings (2012 to 2017). Alongside an analysis of Araeen's editorial and curatorial projects, the book presents an expanded artistic practice that in its scope and approach continues to challenge the formal, ideological, and political assumptions of Eurocentric modernism.' - from the back cover
