The Arnold Rubin Outstanding Publication Award honors publications for excellence in scholarship on the arts of Africa and the African Diaspora. The award, offered every three years, is given to works of original scholarship and excellence in visual presentation that make significant contributions to our understanding of African and African Diasporic arts and material culture. This award was first bestowed in 1989 in honor of the late Dr. Arnold Rubin, professor of Art History at UCLA from 1967-1988.
This award is presented by the Arts Council of the African Studies Association.
