"In the annals of Nigerian art, perhaps nothing has succeeded more in historicizing critical epochs than the simple act of documentation.
Dating back to The Nigerian Teacher and Nigeria Magazine, writing about the contemporaneity of Nigerian art has
proven to be a form of empowerment. This is what Chukwuemeka Bosah and George Edozie have valiantly attempted in this book."

"A Celebration of Modern Nigerian Art - 101 Nigerian Artists presents some of the many artists who are participating in Nigeria's vibrant
and lively art scene today. Its publication attests to the fact that there are a growing number of artists, curators, critics, and
collectors in Nigeria, sharing their varied and interesting perspectives. A book of this nature that documents this dynamic art scene,
where art is produced for local audiences as well as for the international art world, is key to nurturing the
creative impulses of future generations."

"It is delightful to find a publication of this naturein a rather under published area where there is a paucity of good reference material. This excellent research tool will complement existing literature on the subject and see good use in the Contemporary African Art department at Bonhams."

"A Celebration of Modern Nigerian Art -101 Nigerian Artists highlights the quality of work produced by Nigerian artists in Nigeria and the Diaspora thus empowering them. This is a volume that educates, inspires and empowers, which will certainly further the noble aims of the Society of Nigerian Artists. It is a book for scholars and students, as well as glossary for long-term collectors and investors of African contemporary arts."
