    SECCA to Host Book Launch for Wake Forest University Professor Jay Curley

    WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (JANUARY 15, 2019)—The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) is hosting a book launch for Wake Forest University Associate Professor of Art History Jay Curley and his new book Global Art and the Cold War Thurs., Jan. 31. The event, which will include a reception, a brief talk by Curley, and a chance to purchase a copy of Global Art and the Cold War through Bookmarks, will be take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at SECCA, located at 750 Marguerite Drive in Winston-Salem. This event is free and open to the public and will include a cash bar (no bar charge for SECCA Members).

    Global Art and the Cold War, published by Laurence King in January 2019, presents the first ever account of global art during the Cold War (c. 1945–1990). Through a careful examination of artworks drawn from America, Europe, Russia, and Asia, Curley demonstrates the inextricable nature of art and politics in this contentious period. A readable and highly original text, the book dismantles the usual narrative of American abstract painting versus figurative Soviet Socialist Realism. It reveals a much more nuanced, contradictory, and ambivalent picture of art making, in which the objects themselves—like spies—dissembled, housed, and managed ideological differences. Global Art and the Cold War includes an analysis of over 100 works of art.

    John J. Curley is Associate Professor of Art History at Wake Forest University. He has published widely on European and American modernism in art and is the author of A Conspiracy of Images: Andy Warhol, Gerhard Richter, and the Art of the Cold War.
