Using a visual and didactic approach, this volume explores and analyses the interaction and mutual fascination between the American and Italian art worlds in the period between the 1930s and the 1980s. The links between art and politics in Italy and the United States, the parallels in the conceptualisation of the act of exhibiting, the birth of new galleries, the appearance of personalities on both scenes simultaneously: All these elements, taken together, form the common thread that, over the course of some fifty years, has linked social realities in a perpetual state of redefinition and highlighted the connections between movements such as Futurism, Concretism, Abstract Expressionism, Nuclear Art, Pop Art and Spatialism. This study, with an insightful analysis by Renato Miracco, focuses on the BFF collection, which contains several important examples of Italian art, mainly post-war, here in illuminating juxtaposition with their American analogues.'--Publisher's website.
