"As the title itself suggests, this book is a reminder of how much art has changed in the past few decades. Contemporary art exists in more places than it ever did previously. It references more cultures. It tackles a wider variety of issues. Yet artists continue to communicate, not only with us, but also with each other. These 'dialogues' allow us to listen in." - Edward Lucie-Smith "John Grande's Dialogues in Diversity provides proof that art results from the interaction of cultural context and the artist's inner necessity-rather than from the commercial necessities of the centralized art markets. The artists' voices presented here are diverse in means and intentions, in geography and reputation; what they have in common is an engagement with both local concerns and global realities, with the process of making art and the possibilities for art in the contemporary world." - Glenn Harper, Editor Sculpture Magazine
