Event Short Description

James Vaux tells us how US Abstract Expressionism may have been a secret weapon in the Cold War.

Event Information

James Vaux talks about one of the strangest tales in art history. Is it true that the CIA used Abstract Expressionism as a secret weapon against the USSR in the Cold War? Would Pollock and Rothko be forgotten today were it not for this subterfuge? And how did American design nearly cause Nixon and Khrushchev to come to blows … in a kitchen?
