1. How New York Stole The Idea Of Modern Art
Abstract Expressionism, Freedom, and the Cold War
The book explores the complex socio-political dynamics and cultural maneuvering during the Cold War era that led to the shift of the center of the modern art world from Paris to New York. It delves into how this shift was not merely a natural evolution of artistic innovation but was significantly influenced by the American government, wealthy patrons, and influential art dealers. The narrative critically examines how these entities used modern art as a tool of cultural diplomacy to promote American values and capitalism, thereby reshaping the global art scene and redefining the concept of modern art itself.
