This book presents and analyzes artistic interactions both within the Soviet bloc and with the West between 1945 and 1989. During the Cold War the exchange of artistic ideas and products united Europe's avant-garde in a most remarkable way. Despite the Iron Curtain and national and political borders there existed a constant flow of artists, artworks, artistic ideas and practices. The geographic borders of these exchanges have yet to be clearly defined. How were networks, centers, peripheries (local, national and international), scales, and distances constructed? How did (neo)avant-garde tendencies relate with officially sanctioned socialist realism?


The literature on the art of Eastern Europe provides a great deal of factual knowledge about a vast cultural space, but mostly through the prism of stereotypes and national preoccupations. By discussing artworks, studying the writings on art, observing artistic evolution and artists' strategies, as well as the influence of political authorities, art dealers and art critics, the essays in Art beyond Borders compose a transnational history of arts in the Soviet satellite countries in the post war period.

Industry Reviews
"A l'origine de cet ouvrage collectif, il y a la volonte des editeurs Jerome Bazin, Pascal Dubourg Glatigny et Piotr Piotrowski (1952-2015), de contribuer a un mouvement de decloisonnement en favorisant les croisements des outils, des methodes, des angles d'analyse et des objets d'etude de chercheurs(-ses) eloignes en termes geographiques et disciplinaires. En encourageant une apprehension transnationale et circulatoire de l'art dans l'Europe communiste et au-dela, Art beyond Borders s'inscrit dans une demarche scientifique proche de celle du programme de recherche Art@s dirige par Beatrice Joyeux-Prunel et Catherine Dossin, qui contribue actuellement a un renouvellement de l'ecriture de l'Histoire de l'art, envisagee dans une perspective globale et interconnectee. Les editeurs signalent << le deplacement de la guerre ideologique de l'Europe vers le Tiers monde, vers des contextes ou les "Etats modernes" etaient encore a creer, particulierement en Asie et en Afrique >>. L'exemple de Algerie est aborde (a travers l'exposition Algerie 1952 organisee en 1953 a Paris) pour ce qui concerne le continent africain." * Cahiers d'etudes africaines *
