Book ID/图书代码： 13560004B09335

English Summary/英文概要： 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.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 随着抽象表现主义的兴起，纽约市成长为世人公认的前卫中心。DIANA CRANE通过介绍兴起于那一时期的艺术风格以及那时大量出现的各个类型的收购、展示不同风格作品的机构，为我们见证了纽约艺术的那段转型期。

CRANE的叙述围绕着七种艺术风格的讨论：风靡于四十年代的抽象表现主义；发展于60年代的流行艺术和极简主义；七十年代初的具象绘画、超级现实主义和模版画；八十年代初的新表现主义。CRANE证实了纽约艺术已越来越被美国的主流文化潮流接受，带我们走进了纽约艺术圈，看清了那里的纷繁，也了解到了工作与职业的社会学，文化市场中的经济学，譬如说“生意艺术”以及文化社会学。

作者简介：DIANA CRANE是宾夕法尼亚州立大学的社会学教授。她写过《看不见的大学：科学社区的知识传播》（这也是有芝加哥大学出版的），以及《圣洁的社会生活：医生如何治疗危重病人》。

Can a true avant-garde artist redefine the content or techniques of art while creating works devoid of meaning? Most postwar avant-garde artists in the U.S. have done just that by excluding humanistic values and social commentary from their works, according to this quietly devastating survey. Aided by 32 reproductions, Crane, a sociology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, focuses on seven styles: abstract expressionism, pop, minimalism, late ’60s figurative painting, photorealism, pattern painting, neo-expressionism. She finds that nuances of interpersonal relationships are largely absent from modern representational pictures. She also shows how the influx of corporate funds greatly expanded the art market and examines the gatekeeper role of New York galleries and museums in giving credence to synthetic styles. Despite its academic prose, this useful, disturbing study will reward anyone concerned with modern art. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
