A Proposition by Pati Hertling: Part One

Pati Hertling explores how the twentieth-century notion of the artist salon carries over into international art practice today. Charting different expressions of the salon in Europe and the US, Hertling highlights how these communities cohered against a backdrop of war, censorship, migration, and other significant political and social events. She begins with the Hôtel de Rambouillet, considered to be the first instance of the salon in seventeenth-century France, and follows this line of inquiry through the birth of cabaret, the expatriate circle hosted by Gertrude Stein, and then onto the subsequent rise of salon-style spaces in the US after the Second World War, among other examples.
