Description: How should we understand post-war art? How were issues of cultural transfer and curatorial strategies dealt with in the0extended 1960s ? the era of pop? 0'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.
