    Summary note
    Colombia's contemporary art scene remains relatively unknown outside that country. Including ninety profiles of key players and four critical essays, this book captures the renewed dynamism of the Colombian art world. After fifty years of violent civil conflict, in 2002 the Colombian authorities initiated an ambitious peace process with the armed guerrillas. Between 2010 and the start of 2015, the Colombian economy saw the fastest rate of growth in Latin America, and one of the fastest in the world. This buoyant economic climate has benefited the art world, resulting in a proliferation of private and public initiatives over the past decade.Contemporary Art Colombia features key figures, institutions, and spaces in the reemergence of the Colombian art scene.
