Throughout the Cold War era, a sustained and intense dialogue developed between both the West and East German and the North American art scenes on artistic, socio-cultural, institutional and economic levels. Entangled Art Histories offers new insights into the complex and intertwined transatlantic networks that gradually emerged in the wake of movements such as Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptualism, involving artists, museums, galleries, curators, critics, and the art market. The essays in this volume, written by internationally renowned scholars, address key issues ranging from travel and infrastructure to East-West cultural policy during the Cold War. By exploring the exhibition strategies, controversial receptions and geopolitical concerns of these entangled histories, this book contributes to a better understanding of the dynamic interplay between artists, galleries, and museums from a transnational perspective.
