Author: Christina Bartosch
The time around 1910 has entered art history as the moment when abstrac- tion was invented. However, where and when works of non-figurative art became present in the public eye has been afforded little attention to date. Exhibiting Abstraction is the first pub- lication to be devoted entirely to the presentation of abstract art between 1908 and 1915. It uncovers strategiesfor the dissemination of early abstract painting in exhibitions with the aid of a register of exhibited works by Giaco- mo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Wassily Kandinsky, Frantisek Kupka, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian and Francis Picabia shown to the public withinthis period, and an analysis of the artists’ exhibition activities. The key role played by art exhibitions in theworks’ introduction and dissemination is highlighted.
