Intentionally provocative, the title \u003cem\u003eWestkunst \u003c/em\u003eis a pun on the word \u0026lsquo;Weltkunst\u0026rsquo; (World Art). It was intended to refer to the hegemonic Western ideology as well as the existing political and ideological division of Europe into West and East. Having taken as its starting point the year 1939 (the beginning of the Second World War and mass migration of prominent European artists to New York), the curators chose 800 works by 200 artists. Appealing to the formalist methodological tradition in art history, any historical ideological context was scaled down. The exposition thus was organised according to a formal / iconographic principle and the idea of artistic innovation.The \u0026ldquo;Today\u0026rdquo; section of the exhibition, which was intended to be a representation of the work of emerging artists, was described by critics as a \u0026ldquo;trade show\u0026rdquo;, or \u0026ldquo;dealers selection\u0026rdquo;. \u003cem\u003eWestkunst \u003c/em\u003eis considered a consolidation of the Trans-Atlantic art world\u0026rsquo;s reluctance to accept artists of non-Western origin.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDit is de catalogus van een omvangrijke tentoonstelling van moderne kunst in de\u0026nbsp;K\u0026ouml;lnermessehallen\u0026nbsp;in Keulen (30.5- 16.8.1981) die werd samengesteld door\u0026nbsp;Laszlo\u0026nbsp;Glozer\u0026nbsp;en Kasper\u0026nbsp;K\u0026ouml;nig.

Men wilde ermee verwijzen naar de\u0026nbsp;hegemonische\u0026nbsp;westerse ideologie en naar de bestaande politieke en ideologische opdeling van Europa in West en Oost. De curatoren vetrokken van het jaar 1939 \u0026ndash; het begin van WOII en van een massale migratie van vooraanstaande Europese kunstenaars naar New York \u0026ndash; en kozen 800 werken van 200 kunstenaars. Methodologisch gezien werd een beroep gedaan op de formalistische traditie in de kunstgeschiedenis, waardoor elke historische ideologische\u0026nbsp;contextualisering\u0026nbsp;werd vermeden. De expositie was georganiseerd volgens een formeel/iconografisch principe en het idee van artistieke innovatie.
