A series of exhibitions and accompanying catalogues organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, Views from Abroad examines the complex artistic crosscurrents between Europe and America in 20th-century art. This latest volume, subtitled American Realities, highlights a wide range of masterworks from the Whitney's Permanent Collection. Exploring the themes of allegory, symbolism, and narrative as central to American art, it also reconsiders the relationship of these themes to abstraction. Essays reexamine the legacy of modern and contemporary American art, explicitly focusing on radical approaches to the depiction of people and places.Views from Abroad: American Realities is curated by Nicholas Serota, director of the Tate Gallery, London, and Sandy Nairne, director of Public and Regional Services at the Tate, in collaboration with Adam D. Weinberg, curator of the Permanent Collection at the Whitney Museum. The fully illustrated book contains an introduction by Weinberg and essays by Serota and Nairne along with contributions by several well-known British authors.The exhibition is on view at the Whitney Museum from June to October 1997. It will be presented at the Tate Gallery after the completion of its new facilities.
