This book presents and analyzes artistic interactions both within
the Soviet bloc and between the Western bloc between 1945 and 1989.
During the Cold War the exchange of artistic ideas and products
united Europe's avant-garde in a most remarkable way. Despite the
Iron Curtain and national and political borders there existed a
constant flow of artists, artworks, artistic ideas and practices.
The geographic borders of these exchanges have yet to be clearly
defined. How were networks, centers, peripheries (local, national
and international), scales, and distances constructed? How did
(neo)avant-garde tendencies relate with officially sanctioned
socialist realism? The slowly expanding, newly translated
literature on the art of Eastern Europe provides a great deal of
factual knowledge about a vast cultural space, but mostly through
the prism of stereotypes and national preoccupations. By discussing
artworks, studying the writings on art, observing artistic
evolution and artists' strategies, as well as the influence of
political authorities, art dealers and art critics, the essays in
Art beyond Borders compose a transnational history of arts in the
Soviet satellite countries in the post war period.
