The Rise and Fall of American Art, 1940s–1980s
This book challenges the perception of New York as the undisputed center of the art world between the end of World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall, a position of power that brought the city prestige, money, and historical recognition. In her transnational and interdisciplinary study, Dossin analyses changing distributions of geopolitical and symbolic power in the Western art worlds - a story that spans two continents, forty years, and hundreds of actors.
The Rise and Fall of American Art, 1940s–1980s
In The Rise and Fall of American Art, 1940s-1980s, Catherine Dossin challenges the now-mythic perception of New York as the undisputed center of the art world between the end of World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall, a position of power that brought the city prestige, money, and historical recognition.

École de Paris global
Es ist eine häufig erzählte Geschichte, dass Paris am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts das Weltzentrum der Kunst gewesen sei. Dieses Buch fragt danach, welchen Beitrag Ausstellungen zwischen 1921 und 1946 zur Entwicklung und Verbreitung dieser Erzählung geleistet haben. Es beleuchtet Ausstellungen in den Cafés des Pariser Viertels Montparnasse und die internationalen Ausstellungen der „École de Paris“. So treten konkurrierende Sichtweisen auf Paris als Zentrum und Kreuzungspunkt der Kunstwelt hervor. Dieses Buch bietet erstmals einen chronologischen sowie topographischen Überblick über diese Ausstellungen. Zudem löst es die kunsthistorische Forschung zur „École de Paris“ aus ihrer auf Paris fokussierten Perspektive und analysiert seinen Gegenstand im Horizont transkultureller Dynamiken. Bietet eine neue Sichtweise auf die „École de Paris“ Ausstellungsgeschichte moderner Kunst Katalog zu den Caféausstellungen in Montparnasse und den internationalen Ausstellungen der „École de Paris“ Blick ins Buch
