Patrons' Circle Lecture 2011: Alexander Nagel

"Medieval 1960s" 

 

Lecture Description: 

The year 1962 saw the publication of major and highly influential statements on contemporary art and culture by Umberto Eco, Leo Steinberg, and Marshal McLuhan. Besides having a common hero in James Joyce, these thinkers shared a sustained scholarly interest in medieval and Renaissance art and culture, a training that in fact equipped them to respond with extraordinary acuity to the contemporary developments. Their interventions sensitize us to a "medieval strain" in 1960s art from Klein and Warhol to Flavin and Smithson.
