“Cold War in the White Cube, let me repeat it, is a vital
contribution. . . . It is also a book that is efficiently
illustrated, elegantly printed, and very well written.”—Jan Baetens
Leonardo Reviews
“Exciting and exemplary scholarship. . . .Highly sophisticated in
its methodology, clear in its language and exposition, fair in its
conclusions, and committed overall to uncovering new knowledge,
Cold War in the White Cube is a model of progressive
scholarship.”—Leonard Folgarait, author of Painting 1909: Pablo
Picasso, Gertrude Stein, Henri Bergson, Comics, Albert Einstein,
and Anarchy
“Delia Solomons’s brilliant book follows a deep intellectual rigor
to weave a fascinating account of the surge in attention and
efflorescence of Latin American art exhibitions and publications in
the United States in the fractious period of 1959-1968 that has
been largely forgotten. Beautifully written and meticulously
researched in archives in the United States, Argentina, and Brazil,
Solomons’s book engages artists’ voices to counterpoint disparate
visions, constructed narratives, and portrayals by US critics and
cultural workers of Latin American art at the time.”—Olga U.
Herrera, author of American Interventions and Modern Art in South
America
