It is a collection of 49 essays each focusing on a Korean artist born after 1945. Commissioned from 23 critics, they trace the development of each artist's oeuvre and consider the significance they hold in contemporary Korean art history. Each entry includes images of select works and a brief artist biography. Contributor biographies are provided at the bacak.
