Recenzii

"Sarah Schrank's richly detailed Art and the City provides a long-overdue social historical context for the city's much-touted status in recent years as a global art capital. It also refutes the notion that Los Angeles's arts scene emerged ex nihilo in the 1960s. Schrank posits, instead, that decades of reactionary cultural politics-not to mention spatial isolation and sprawl-were among the forces driving the city's artistic ascent."-Journal of American History "Art and the City provides a much-needed synthesis of the meaning of art and place in Los Angeles and serves as a reminder that civic identity is forged in the conflict between the rhetoric of power, the desire to belong, and the difficult realities of community-building."-College Art Association Reviews "Sarah Schrank's Art and the City could not be more timely. In her thoughtful, prescient, and well-researched book, she details the vivid and rich history of Los Angeles's art world and explains the political and cultural dynamics that have shaped the city's artistic identity and, at times, may have prevented the city from becoming a globally recognized art mecca in the first place... Schrank's book does a service to history and urban planning. Most importantly, it offers an authentic account of Los Angeles's rich artistic legacy...A mainstream audience of art aficionados, urbanists, and policymakers would find Art and the City a fascinating and fresh account of a complicated and dazzling city that is far greater than the sum of its parts."-Journal of American Planning Association
