{"product_id":"golda-and-meyer-marks-cobra-collection","title":"Golda and Meyer Marks: Cobra Collection","description":"The book features works from the Golda and Meyer Marks Cobra Collection, the largest  CoBrA art collection in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale collection of Cobra art includes more than  1,600 works and is the largest museum collection in the United States, thanks in large  part to Golda and Meyer Marks donating their collection from 1978 until their deaths  in 1998 and 1991, respectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Cobra art was born as an art collective in 1948 in reaction to the devastation of World  War II and named for its artists' home cities (Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam).  Cobra art is raw, vital, spontaneous, and filled with dynamic abstract and semi-abstract  forms. Its artists worked together and often collaboratively before going their separate  ways in 1951, to achieve a new means of expression that challenged traditions and  the constraints on artistic expression they had experienced during World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  The movement greatly influenced the development of European modern art as well  as contemporary art in America and Europe. The study of the Cobra art movement  has led to a greater understanding of how acts of resistance and political movements  continue to influence current events.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  This monograph of the museum's Cobra collection includes text by renowned experts  in the field, 150 illustrations and detailed entries on 29 artists.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665606152228,"sku":"9788857236353","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857236353.jpg?v=1780603604","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/golda-and-meyer-marks-cobra-collection","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
