Modern Art Reviewed: Art Reviews, Magazines and Journals in Europe, 1910-1945 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783110737363)

By studying the importance of specialist art periodicals in creating the artistic, economic and cultural-historical value of modern art and visual culture, this volume is dedicated to the history and legacy of specialist art reviews, bulletins, and magazines across Europe--and their echoes elsewhere--in the early to mid-twentieth century. It assembles historical case studies on European modern art periodicals (British, French, German, Belgian, Finnish, Danish), presenting new research on the multiple meanings that such specialist publications assume within the history of modern art. Paying special attention to the interdependence of the art market and the art press, and reflecting upon the fresh insights that new forms of reading bring, each chapter adds to our historical understanding of the modern art review.
