Abstract

This essay focuses on contemporary artworks that hark back to Mughal examples. In particular, there is an underlying formal arrangement shared by traditional and contemporary art, which I would like to suggest has much in common with reading maps. In fact, many of these artworks actually feature maps that alert us to different ways of ‘reading’ this tradition of formalism, stimulating different levels of description.
