Catherine Dossin

The Rise and Fall of American Art, 1940s-1980s

A Geopolitics of Western Art Worlds

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book challenges the perception of New York as the undisputed center of the art world between the end of World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall, a position of power that brought the city prestige, money, and historical recognition. In her transnational and interdisciplinary study, Dossin analyses changing distributions of geopolitical and symbolic power in the Western art worlds - a story that spans two continents, forty years, and hundreds of actors.
