Synopsis

Throughout this century the visual avant-garde has met the public through provocative exhibitions, where partisans confronted anger and derision in reaction to the new art. Bruce Altshuler provides an account of more than twenty key exhibitions in Europe, America, and Asia from 1905 through the 60s, presenting a new perspective on advanced art through a focus on critical moments of interaction among artists, dealers, collectors, critics and public.
