Professor Margaret Graves’ most recently published book, Arts of Allusion: Object, Ornament, and Architecture in Medieval Islam (Oxford University Press, 2018) was the winner of the International Center of Medieval Art 2019 Book Prize. Praised for her impeccable research and innovative methodological approach to materiality, Professor Graves explores how small decorative arts reflect the symbolic, phenomenological, and ideological contingencies of large-scale architectural manipulation of space in this volume.
