A critical assessment of a landmark show in postwar European painting
The Royal Academy's seminal 1981 exhibition A New Spirit in Painting united key trajectories in 1950s-70s painting. Assessing its impact, this book features an essay and interviews with artists, curators and gallerists linked to the show, such as Georg Baselitz, Markus L pertz, Rainer Fetting, Norman Rosenthal, Jean-Louis Froment, Tim Marlow, Michael Werner and Thaddaeus Ropac.
