Book Synopsis
The term Neo-Dada surfaced in New York in the late 1950s and was used to characterize young artists. This title turns this time line for the postwar New York art world on its head, presenting a new pedigree for these artistic movements. It argues that the original Dada movement was not incompatible with abstract expressionism.

Trade Review
"With characteristic elegance, Catherine Craft recasts abstract expressionism's development in terms of the avant-garde movements which preceded and followed it. An Audience of Artists adds considerable nuance to our understanding of the history of American art at midcentury and greatly refines our understanding of the claims and stakes implicit in the development of an American avant-garde and modern art in general." -Anne Goodyear, National Portrait Gallery"
