10 Years of Addis Fine Art: A Decade of Discovery

£55.00

Celebrating a decade of exhibitions, artists, and exchange, 10 Years of Addis Fine Art: A Decade of Discovery offers an in-depth look at the gallery’s journey from its founding in Addis Ababa to its international presence. Bringing together essays, artist profiles, and archival highlights, the book explores modern and contemporary practices from Ethiopia and its diaspora across generations. Thoughtfully curated and richly illustrated, it is both a record of artistic discovery and a reflection on the evolving landscape of African art.

Each order includes a limited-edition tote bag, exclusive to 10 Years of Addis Fine Art: A Decade of Discovery.
