Book Launch of The Mobility of Modernism
Admission is open to the public and free of charge. Kindly register.
Author Dr. Harper Montgomery (Hunter College, CUNY) will present her new publication The Mobility of Modernism in a discussion with Dr. Edward Sullivan (Institute of Fine Arts, NYU). The book examines modernist artworks and criticism that circulated among a network of cities, including Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Havana, and Lima. Montgomery maps the dialogues and relationships among critics who published in avant-gardist magazines such as Amauta and Revista de Avance and artists such as Carlos Mérida, Xul Solar, and Emilio Pettoruti, among others, who championed esoteric forms of abstraction.
