Zusammenfassung:"Valdis Āboliņs (1939-1984), or Abo to his friends, was "an exile Latvian, a mail artist, an inspiring avant-garde and non-conformist artist, a former gallery manager with international experience". ... Valdis Āboliņs' letters and articles, and the memoirs of him and essays based on archive materials presented in this book provide an intriguing look at his role in the history of art and exile during the Cold War period and at his attempts to establish closer ties between the exile community, the West and Latvia"--Page 4 of cover. - "The book includes [Āboliņs'] letters, writings and political cartoons, along with essays written by his contemporaries and younger generation researchers about his activities in Western avant-garde art and his role in fostering cultural relations with Latvia. This book is not only about Valdis Āboliņs, but also about the role culture played in the relations between people on both sides of the Iron Curtain."--Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art events' archive, viewed July 20, 2019
