Description: In 1980, Jan Hoet organised the contemporary art exhibition Art in Europe after '68 in Ghent. The show's unprecedented reception positioned the Museum of Contemporary Art internationally, while the major acquisitions it generated sustainably defined the identity of the collection. The publication advances a historical and critical evaluation of Art in Europe after '68 and its legacy. It retraces the pathway from the opening of the museum in 1976 to this first international event and reflects on the questions its heritage raises today.
