With its tradition of cultural innovation, Northern California is home to an internationally recognized art scene. Contemporary Art: Northern California is a showcase of dozens of prominent local artists who have made this region the base of eclectic, cutting-edge art on the West Coast. Each of the forty-nine artist profiles include a critical career overview, brief biographical entry and selected bibliography, as well as numerous images of the artist's major works. Some are Bay Area pioneers who continue to make imporntat work, such as Bruce Conner, while others employ the cutting edge of technology, such as Lynn Hershman and Ken Goldberg. The artists represented reflect the ethnic diversity of Northern California, and cover the range of current media and movements. Written by Mark Johnstone (author of Contemporary Art in Southern California) and Leslie Aboud Holzman (formerly of NextMonet.com), Contemporary Art: Northern California is a timely look at the leading purveyors of the area's pioneering and ever-shifting panorama of art.
