This monograph sets out to write new transnational South Asian art histories - to
make visible histories of artworks that remain marginalised within the discipline
of art history. However, this is done through a deliberate 'productive failure' -
specifically, by not upholding the strictly genealogical approach that is regularly
assumed for South Asian art histories. For instance, one chapter explores the abstract
work of Cy Twombly and Natvar Bhavsar. I also examine 'whiteness', the invisible ground
upon which racialized art histories often pivot, as a fraught yet productive site
for writing art history. As the book progresses, art historical 'writing' includes
a range of practice-led forms, such as curating exhibitions or my affective engagement
with visual culture. Overall, I suggest methods for generating art history that acknowledge
the complex web of factors within which art history is produced and the different
forms of knowledge-production we might count as art history
