            About this book
This book is about the promotion of young artists after 1945 by the American occupation force. For the first time, it presents in detail the activities of the Prolog Group, whose members included prominent German artists, art historians, and members of the American occupation administration. Besides describing their activities, the study also presents a critique of the orientation and implementation of the Group’s programs.
- Discusses the promotion of post-war modernism in Berlin and the history of the founding of the Prolog Group
- Spotlights art exhibitions as a means of transatlantic cultural politics
