Simultáneous Avant-Gardes and Horizontal Art Histories: Avant-Gardes Outside of the Canonic Narrations

Abstract

In the closing chapter of the section, Andrea Giunta addresses horizontal art history from the perspective of her research on Latin America and juxtaposes Piotrowski’s concept with her original idea of “simultaneous avant-gardes”. The text by Giunta wraps up the volume, as her ap- proach is as similar as it is different from Piotrowski’s, and therefore, it demonstrates well both the simultaneity of art historical revisions and how geopolitical conditions influence the forms of these revisions.
