Exhibition
New York
4 Oct 1946 – 18 Oct 1946
The Metropolitan Museum presented paintings selected by the United States Department of State before their international tour. The project used contemporary American art as an instrument of cultural diplomacy. This record concerns the New York presentation; the subsequent overseas itineraries and the political controversy surrounding the programme form related chapters of its history.
