Summary

S.M.A.K. Highlights for a Future' is the first catalogue of the collection of the S.M.A.K. Municipal Museum of Contemporary Art in Ghent since its founding in 1999. The generous selection of works in this book offers a representative cross-section from a collection comprising more than two thousand works, from familiar classics, to new masterpieces, to recent acquisitions.

Highlights for a Future' includes works by Francis Alÿs, Kader Attia, Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, Artur Barrio, Joseph Beuys, Dara Birnbaum, Michaël Borremans, Marcel Broodthaers, Nina Canell, N.
