Consuming Surrealism in American Culture: Dissident Modernism argues that Surrealism worked as a powerful agitator to disrupt dominant ideas of modern art in the United States. Unlike standard accounts that focus on Surrealism in the U.S. during the 1940s as a point of departure for the ascendance of the New York School, this study contends that Surrealism has been integral to the development of American visual culture over the course of the twentieth century. Through analysis of Surrealism in both the museum and the marketplace, Sandra Zalman tackles Surrealism's multi-faceted circulation as both elite and popular. Zalman shows how the American encounter with Surrealism was shaped by Alfred Barr, William Rubin and Rosalind Krauss as these influential curators mobilized Surrealism to compose, to concretize, or to unseat narratives of modern art in the 1930s, 1960s and 1980s - alongside Surrealism's intersection with advertising, Magic Realism, Pop, and the rise of contemporary photography. As a popular avant-garde, Surrealism openly resisted art historical classification, forcing the supposedly distinct spheres of modernism and mass culture into conversation and challenging theories of modern art in which it did not fit, in large part because of its continued relevance to contemporary American culture.

'Zalman brilliantly explicates Salvador Dal hy;'s enactment of a kind of primal scene of American modernism, which alone makes the book essential reading. As she recounts, this was realized in his super-spectacle at the 1939 Worlds Fair, and, more generally, in the amorous mutual embrace between Dal hy; and the U.S. advertising and film industries. It is this latter relationship that damned and marginalized him in 20th-century art history. One lesson of Zalman's book is that despite the deep shame that this period of Dal art prompted in the New York art world, it made it impossible for American critics to continue to deny modern art's eager participation in the booming wealth of American commerce.'

'Embracing Surrealism's "pluralist and hybrid nature", Sandra Zalman offers a well-argued and wittily revisionist history of Surrealism and its legacy in the United States, astutely parsing the intersection of art and commerce which characterized America's embrace of European modernism's most expansive movement. Zalman's study ranges from Alfred Barr's 1936 Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism at New York's Museum of Modern Art to the immersive environment created by John Baldessari for Magritte and Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 2006. Both authoritative and immediately engaging, Zalman brings a scholar's eye to the hidden persuaders of advertising copy and exhibition design, as well as to landmark works of art and critical texts that defined the ascendency of American art in the post-war era.' Alison de Lima Greene, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, USA
'Sandra Zalman has produced the most deeply and imaginatively researched account of the profound ways in which European Surrealism altered not just American art but the wider culture as well. Fluently written and full of riveting details,
