'With this book, John J. Curley confirms his reputation as the pre-eminent historian of the visual arts during the Cold War. Clearly written, generously illustrated, and imaginatively conceived, Global Art and the Cold War extends traditional boundaries of that subject into the also dangerous realms of imagination, representation, and creative survival. Not to be missed.' Pulitzer-Prize winning Cold War Historian John Lewis Gaddis, Yale University
'It is not often that one comes across a book on contemporary, or near contemporary, art that shifts one's view of what it is, how it has developed, and that direction those developments are likely to take in future. Here, however, is one such book...' Edward Lucie-Smith, in Artlyst, the UK's leading art information website
