Expert Talks: International Abstraction after 1945 (1/3)
How did the two central currents of international abstraction, Abstract Expressionism and Art Informel, influence each other? What were the centers of postwar abstraction? What role did international abstraction have in the Cold War, what made it a world language?
In the expert talks on the exhibition, international art historians and curators, including Daniel Zamani (Curator of the Exhibition, Museum Barberini), Ortrud Westheider (Director, Museum Barberini), Gražina Subelytė (Curator, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice), Kay Heymer (Director for Modern Art, Museum Kunstpalast Düsseldorf), and art historian Jeremy Lewison provide fascinating insights into the development and background of postwar abstraction.
