Matthew Holman

Curating Modern Life

Frank O'Hara, the Mid-Century Museum, and the Art of the Cold War

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"This is the first book to closely examine the curatorial work that the celebrated poet Frank O'Hara undertook for the Museum of Modern Art in New York, from 1950 to his death in 1966. It traces O'Hara's distinguished curatorial career at home and abroad, situating his work for MoMA's International Program within the Cold War politics of the day. Bringing together readings of O'Hara's poems and letters with a selection of illustrations, it is perfect reading for anyone interested in American art in the mid-20th century, curatorial and museum studies"--
