Hot Art, Cold War - Northern and Western European Writing on
American Art 1945-1990 is one of two text anthologies that trace
the reception of American art in Europe during the Cold War era
through primary sources. With the exception of those originally
published in English, the majority of these texts are translated
into English for the first time from eight languages, and are
introduced by scholarly essays. They offer a representative
selection of the diverse responses to American art in Great
Britain, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, West Germany
(FRG), Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
There was no single European discourse, as attitudes to American
art were determined by a wide range of ideological, political,
social, cultural, and artistic positions that varied considerably
across the European nations. This volume and its companion, Hot
Art, Cold War - Southern and Eastern European Writing on American
Art 1945-1990, offer the reader a unique opportunity to compare how
European art writers introduced and explained contemporary American
art to their many and varied audiences. Whilst many are fluent in
one or two foreign languages, few are able to read all twenty-five
languages represented in the two volumes. These ground-breaking
publications significantly enrich the fields of American art
studies and European art criticism. This book, together with its
companion volume Hot Art, Cold War - Southern and Eastern European
Writing on American Art 1945-1990,, is a joint initiative of the
Terra Foundation for American Art and the editors of the journal
Art in Translation at the University of Edinburgh. The journal,
launched in 2009, publishes English-language translations of the
most significant texts on art and visual cultures presently only
available only in their source language. It is committed to
widening the perspectives of art history, making it more pluralist
in terms of its authors, viewpoints, and subject matter.
