Ecole de Paris global: Die Erfindung von Paris als Kunstzentrum in internationalen Ausstellungen zwischen 19211946 by Annabel Ruckdeschel
It is a frequently told story that Paris was the world center of art at the beginning of the 20th century. This book asks what contribution exhibitions between 1921 and 1946 made to the development and dissemination of this narrative. It highlights exhibitions in the cafes of the Montparnasse neighborhood of Paris and the international exhibitions of the "Ecole de Paris." Competing views of Paris as the center and crossroads of the art world thus emerge. This book offers for the first time a chronological as well as topographical overview of these exhibitions. It also detaches art historical research on the "Ecole de Paris" from its Paris-focused perspective and analyzes its subject in the horizon of transcultural dynamics.
