Paul Guiragossian: The Human Condition is authored by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, the founders of the curatorial platform Art Reoriented. It offers a long overdue re-assessment of the life and work of a pioneering artistic and intellectual figure from Lebanon and in the Arab world. It contextualizes the multiple strands of Guiragossian's career within a contemporary art-historical reading, highlighting his negotiation of an Occident-centered narrative of Modernity. Published by the Paul Guiragossian Foundation, this catalogue accompanies an exhibition of the same title. It combines substantial archival materials with more than 100 paintings and works on paper spanning five decades of the artist's life, and emphasizes important aspects of his life and writing that shed new light on his pivotal position within the art history of the Lebanon, the Arab world and beyond.
