Taking its cue from the thirty-year anniversary of curator Germano Celant's landmark exhibition at PS1 in New York - The Knot - this volume presents innovative case studies and emphasizes new methodologies deployed in the study of postwar Italian art as a means to evaluate the current state of the field. Included are fifteen essays that each examine! from a different viewpoint! the issues! concerns! and questions driving postwar Italian art history. The editors and contributors call for a systematic reconsideration of the artistic origins of postwar Italian art! the terminology that is used to describe the work produced! and key personalities and institutions that promoted and supported the development and marketing of this art in Italy and abroad.
