Published to accompany the 2009 exhibition at El Museo del Barrio, 'Nexus New York' provides a definitive look at the Latin American and Caribbean artists who shaped the New York avant-garde between 1900 and 1942. Deborah Cullen curates a vital dialogue between figures like Joaquín Torres-García, Marius de Zayas, and Miguel Covarrubias, demonstrating how their cross-cultural exchanges redefined modernism in the city. The volume serves as both a historical recovery project and a critical reassessment of the cosmopolitan nature of early 20th-century American art.
