Vitamin P (for Painting) provides a unique overview of international painting from recent years. Influential curators and critics from around the world selected 114 of the most significant and compelling contemporary painters to have emerged on the international scene. Each painter is featured across a double-page spread—or more—with a selection of works accompanied by an analytical text, a list of exhibitions, and a brief bibliography.

This book demonstrates how a generation of painters is constantly renewing a traditional medium of expression—one considered by many to be obsolete. Featured alongside Carole Benzaken, for instance, are Bernard Frize, Djamel Tatah, Ghada Amer, Luc Tuymans, and Marlene Dumas.

Showcasing remarkable eclecticism, as well as an unexpected richness and dynamism in contemporary painting, *Vitamin P* is a reference work aimed at both art professionals and newcomers alike. Barry Schwabsky, who wrote the introduction, is a regular contributor to *Artforum* magazine. His expertly crafted text provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing discourse surrounding painting and the role it has played in art since the 1950s.
