About This Item
2012 red hardcover w white DJ in very good condition, some wear to covers, good binding. US media mail only for shipping. This book focuses on collective forms of modernist expressionthe art collection, the anthology, and the archiveand their importance in the development of institutional and artistic culture in the United States.
Using extensive archival research, Braddock's study synthetically examines the overlooked practices of major American art collectors and literary editors: Albert Barnes, Alain Locke, Duncan Phillips, Alfred Kreymborg, Amy Lowell, Ezra Pound, Katherine Dreier, and Carl Van Vechten. He reveals the way collections were devised as both models for modernism's future institutionalization and culturally productive objects and aesthetic forms in themselves. Rather than anchoring his study in the familiar figures of the individual poet, artist, and work, Braddock gives us an entirely new account of how modernism was made, one centered on the figure of the collector and the practice of collecting.
