Bricker Balken, Debra, and Lynn Gumpert: Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France 1946-1962. Exhibition: Andover, Addison Gallery of American Art and New York, Grey Art Gallery and Study Center, 2022. 300 pages, 270 colour illustrations. Hardback. 30 x 25cms. First major publication focusing on the community of American artists, writers, and musicians living and working in Paris after the Second World War. By exploring the circle of expatriates, their spaces and cultural contributions, this study challenges New York's dominance as the postwar world's creative centre and proposes that interactions with France were vital to the development of American art. Four essays present new scholarship on the period, the Parisian reception of American art, Herbert Gentry, and film. Also including excerpts from never-before-published interviews between Billy Klüver, Julie Martin and twenty-five French and American artists, dealers, critics, and curators such as Ellsworth Kelly, Claire Falkenstein, and Nina Dausset.
