Richard Mille Art Book 3rd Edition - The Present Tense

The Present Tense is the third volume in the Richard Mille Art Book series, offering a compelling exploration of contemporary art across the Arab world and Türkiye.

Curated by Dr. Ridha Moumni and published by Arabian Publishing, this bilingual Arabic-English edition examines how contemporary artists transform memory, cultural heritage and artistic traditions into new forms of expression. From calligraphy, textiles and geometric abstraction to movements such as Cubism, Pointillism and Surrealism, the book reveals the many ways in which the past continues to shape the visual language of the present.

Featuring artists and perspectives from across the Gulf, the Levant, North Africa and Türkiye, The Present Tense celebrates a diverse and evolving contemporary art landscape while exploring themes of identity, displacement, memory and cultural continuity.

A beautifully conceived publication for art enthusiasts and collectors, this third edition continues Richard Mille’s commitment to documenting and celebrating the artistic voices shaping the region today.
