Know about the book -

Cartographic Abstraction in Contemporary Art is written by Claire Reddleman and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1351777939 (ISBN 10) and 9781351777933 (ISBN 13).

In this book, Claire Reddleman introduces her theoretical innovation "cartographic abstraction" – a material modality of thought and experience that is produced through cartographic techniques of depiction. Reddleman closely engages with selected artworks (by contemporary artists such as Joyce Kozloff, Layla Curtis, and Bill Fontana) and theories in each chapter. Reconfiguring the Foucauldian underpinning of critical cartography towards a materialist theory of abstraction, cartographic viewpoints are theorised as concrete abstractions. This research is positioned at the intersection of art theory, critical cartography and materialist philosophy.
