Abstract expressionism : other politics
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-239) and index.

The Abstract Expressionist movement has long been bound up in the careers and lifestyles of about twelve white male artists who exhibited in New York in the 1940s. In this book Ann Eden Gibson reconsiders the history of the movement by investigating other artists - people of color, women, and gays and lesbians - whose versions of abstraction have been largely ignored until now.
