This book maps key moments in the history of post-war art from a global perspective.
This book maps key moments in the history of postwar art from a global perspective.

The reader is introduced to a new globally oriented approach to art, artists, museums and movements of the postwar era (1945–70). Specifically, this book bridges the gap between historical artistic centers, such as Paris and New York, and peripheral loci. Through case studies, previously unknown networks, circulations, divides and controversies are brought to light. From the development of Ethiopian modernism, to the showcase of Brazilian modernity, this book provides readers with a new set of coordinates and a reassessment of well-trodden art historical narratives around modernism.

This book will be of interest to scholars in art historiography, art history, exhibition and curatorial studies, modern art and globalization.

Flavia Frigeri is an Art Historian and Curator. She is currently Curator for Missing Narratives on Women at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Kristian Handberg is an Art Historian. He is currently Assistant Professor in the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies at the University of Copenhagen.
