With the rise of Abstract Expressionism, New York City became the
acknowledged center of the avant-garde. Diana Crane documents the
transformation of the New York art world between 1940 and 1985,
both in the artistic styles that emerged during this period and the
expansion of the number and types of institutions that purchased
and displayed various works. Crane's account is built around
discussions of seven styles: Abstract Expressionism in the forties;
Pop art and Minimalism in the sixties; Figurative painting,
Photorealism, and Pattern painting in the early seventies; and
Neo-Expressionism in the early eighties. Demonstrating that the New
York art world moved toward increasing acceptance of dominant
American cultural trends, Crane offers a fascinating look not only
at the intricacies of New York's artistic inner circle but also at
the sociology of work and professions, the economics of culture
markets such as dealing art, and the sociology of culture.
