Overview

How should we understand post-war art? How were issues
of cultural transfer and curatorial strategies dealt with in the
extended 1960s – the era of pop?

Art in Transfer in the Era of Pop juxtaposes issues and contexts
approaching the concept and reception of Pop Art.
Contributors from Europe and beyond weave a web that
resists the notion of universialism, adding to art historian
Piotr Piotrowski’s “horizontal” art history. This volume avoids
the historiographic stance where the US—Europe relationship
appears to be a one-way affair. Instead, the reader is drawn
into the history of the circulation and cross-pollination of
ideas, the aesthetic practices and the various contexts that
influenced them.

Annika Öhrner is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Art History, School of Culture and Education, Södertörn University. In 2010, she defended her dissertation Barbro Östlihn & New York, at Uppsala University, published by Makadam.

Her research scope also includes the classical avant-garde. Öhrner was Dean of the Valand Academy, Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, Gothenburg University, 1996-2001. She has curated numerous exhibitions, for example retrospectives of Meret Oppenheim (2004) and Siri Derkert (2011) at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm. Öhrner is working presently within the research project Art, culture, conflict: transformations of museums and memory culture in the Baltic Sea region after 1989, funded by The Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies.
