With unprecedented access to a new wave of international artists, A New Renaissance opens up the curtains covering the hidden scenes behind museums and Instagram algorithms. Highlighting fifteen international artists in their studios, the book offers an insight into the new direction of the international art world.

Curated by the online art platform Avant Arte, this limited edition takes the viewer across the world into the most intimate and creative spaces inhabited by artists, showing them in the environments where they are both at their most powerful and vulnerable.

The studio visits are accompanied by conversations between Avant Arte and three influential voices who have earned their stripes internationally in various fields: Diane von Fürstenberg, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Jefferson Hack, reflecting on the past and present as well as the future of art and its industry, and by a foreword written by Avant Arte’s Christian Luiten.

Featuring Sanford Biggers, Cai Guo-Qiang, Simpiwe Ndzube, Claire Tabouret, Robert Nava, Raquel van Haver, Daniel Arsham, Gina Beavers, Alex Gardner, Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi, Stickymonger, Drift, Chiharu Shiota, Adel Abdessemed and David Altmejd.
