Biography

Claudia Hopkins is Senior Lecturer in History of Art at the University of Edinburgh.

Iain Boyd Whyte is Professor of Architectural History at the University of Edinburgh.

"Put simply, these volumes are an incredible resource for any scholar of American or European art during the Cold War period, as English readers can access overviews and archival examples of the reception of American art from the entirety of Europe and from 20 different languages. With its more honest and complete accounting of American art during the Cold War, material from these books will certainly find their way into many undergraduate and graduate syllabi."
