Zusammenfassung: "Comme le disait Heinz Mack lors d'un de nos nombreux entretiens : "Êtes-vous bien conscient que je suis un des derniers à pouvoir vous raconter cela?" De l'exposition de Düsseldorf en mai 1957 à la mort prématurée de l'artiste en 1962, de la création de l'opéra de Gelsenkirchen à la rétrospective de Krefeld, l'aventure allemande d'Yves Klein fut essentielle dans sa fulgurante carrière. Grâce aux échanges intenses entre l'artiste français et les artistes allemands de sa génération - notamment du mouvement ZERO -, cette histoire se trouve ici retracée au moyen de matériaux d'archives et d'entretiens avec l'ensemble des témoins encore vivants. Intimement liée à l'évolution artistique outre-Rhin, cette biographie constitue aussi une archive exceptionnelle pour une double histoire de l'art. R. F."--Page 4 of cover

Sieben Essays und Redetexte des ausgewiesenen Kunstfachmanns über den Kunstbetrieb in Zeiten der Globalisierung. Fleck erörtert die Auswirkungen aktueller Entwicklungen auf Museen, Galerien, Sammler und Künstler. Dabei beleuchtet er besonders die Internationalisierung und Ökonomisierung des Kunstsystems und seiner Akteure und legt die historischen Zusammenhänge dieser Tendenzen dar. Er zeigt auf, wie sich Museen und Galerien in den letzten Jahrzehnten verändert haben, wie sich die Bedeutung von privaten Sammlern entwickelt und die Rolle von Künstlern und Künstlerinnen verschoben hat. Er beschreibt, wie zunehmend wirtschaftliche Faktoren den Kunstbetrieb beeinflussen, wie sich zugleich das Interesse von klassischen Orten und Formen der Kunstproduktion und Kunstvermarktung auf Schwellenländer und junge, innovative Protagonisten verlagert. Engagiert vertritt Fleck seine Überzeugung, die Künstler und ihre Kunst sollten im Mittelpunkt des Interesses stehen und nicht sekundäre, etwa politische und soziale Motive der Kuratorenszene. Ein kleiner Band für Kunstinteressierte mit Vorbildung

Andrew J. Seltzer raises an interesting question: How large was the net effect of southern political institutions on congressional support for the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)? Although Seltzer claims to use my econometric results to show that those institutions had little effect, his interpretation of my results depends entirely on two assumptions that I did not make and that he does not justify. The first assumption is that two variables—the Turnout-Manufacturing Correlation and Turnout—somehow "defined the southern political system." The second is that southern political institutions caused higher values of Turnout-Manufacturing Correlation. Seltzer's assumptions are theoretically baseless and empirically indefensible, and they lead him to the wrong conclusion. I will explain why.

In this well written book, Mark Barringer provides an interesting and detailed history of commercial enterprises in Yellowstone National Park. The book has great value to scholars concerned with the management of public lands, the roles that interest groups (park employees, concessioners, tourists, and environmentalists) have played in the history of Yellowstone, and the difficulties in designing contracts for the private provision of goods and services on public lands.

In this book, Jeff Singleton provides a detailed history of relief programs prior to and during the Great Depression. He also assesses the obstacles to welfare reform since the 1930s, and he generally argues for more reliance on social insurance and public employment as alternatives to means-tested welfare programs. The book will be of interest to scholars seeking to understand the details and evolution of relief institutions before and during the New Deal, as well as to those interested in the historical origins of modern policy.

This article uses roll-call voting and constituency data to provide an improved understanding of how and why the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938 divided the Democratic Party. The evidence suggests, first, that the predominance of southerners among Democrats who opposed the FLSA resulted in part from the widespread disfranchisement of low-wage workers in the South and, second, that Democratic opposition to the FLSA in the House of Representatives reflected a weakening of the coalition that had passed so much legislation during the earlier years of the New Deal.

This paper presents a theoretical model examining the influence of two stylized types of voters: "loyal voters" & "swing voters." The model shows why both types of voters will influence the distribution of benefits by a reelection-seeking incumbent, & it predicts how their influence will vary with the importance of the general election relative to that of the primary: closer competition between parties in the general election, ceteris paribus, increases the influence of swing voters relative to that of loyal voters. County-level data on the allocation of money & jobs by New Deal relief programs confirm the model's predictions. 2 Tables, 2 Appendixes, 30 References. Adapted from the source document.
