Synopsis
Throughout the 20th century the visual avant-garde has met the public through provocative exhibitions, where partisans confronted anger and derision in reaction to the new art. This text provides an account of more than 20 key exhibitions in Europe, America and Asia from 1905 through the 60s, presenting a perspective on advanced art through a focus on critical moments of interaction among artists, dealers, collectors, critics and public.
