Karin Zitzewitz is beginning a book project that looks at the development of contemporary art in India and Pakistan after 1991, which marks both the liberalization of the Indian economy and the formal end of the Cold War. The period saw rapid changes in the form of art and in art institutions, as the art market and non-profit institutions filled the vacuum left by the retreat of the state from the avant grade. This project has involved the creation of a large archive of contemporary art images, hosted by the Visual Resources Library in the Department of Art, Art History, and Design at MSU and accessible to members of the university community.
