The articles in this volume were first presented at the Historians of Islamic Art Association’s (HIAA) seventh biennial symposium entitled ‘Regime Change’. The nine articles in this volume highlight some of the regimes of thought and changing trends that structure the field of Islamic art history. The authors present new research exploring the intentions of patrons, the agency of craftsmen and their responses to previous artistic production, thereby allowing artefacts and monuments to be set within their historical, social and artistic contexts. This fully illustrated volume looks at a wide range of topics from discussing the changes to Qur’an production due to dynastic and political regime changes in Sumatra and the Malay peninsula to changes in the role and status of designers and weavers making silk in Khurasan in the post-Mongol period; it explores Safavid art and architecture and how the rise of photography and new printing techniques shaped the production, exchange and transmission of images in Iran and Turkey.
