ART IN TRANSFER IN THE ERA OF POP: Curatorial Practices and Transnational Strategies

How should we understand post-war art? How were issues

of cultural transfer and curatorial strategies dealt with in the

extended 1960s – the era of pop?

Art in Transfer in the Era of Pop juxtaposes issues and contexts

approaching the concept and reception of Pop Art.

Contributors from Europe and beyond weave a web that

resists the notion of universialism, adding to art historian

Piotr Piotrowski’s “horizontal” art history. This volume avoids

the historiographic stance where the US—Europe relationship

appears to be a one-way affair. Instead, the reader is drawn

into the history of the circulation and cross-pollination of

ideas, the aesthetic practices and the various contexts that

influenced them.
