Hailed as a landmark exhibition in juxtaposing Western contemporary art and the artistic expression of 'other' cultures, Magiciens de la terre was the first exhibition which highlighted a broadened perspective which embraced and chronicled the contributions of artists from regions and countries beyond the Western art world. With a preface by Jean-Hubert Martin, curator of the exhibition and director of Musee national d'art moderne - Centre Georges Pompidou.
