Call for Papers: Processi italiani: Examining Process in Postwar Italian Art, 1945-1980 Session Sponsored by the Italian Art Society at the College Art Association Conference, Los Angeles 2018 Chair: Tenley Bick , Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History, Washington University Session Abstract: Dominant narratives in modern and contemporary art history have long positioned the 1960s Italian avant-garde Arte Povera—a movement known for ephemeral practices, informalist aesthetics, and “deskilled” procedures—as a subset of process art and post-minimalism, ascribing Italian innovations to movements better associated with British and American artists.
