Zusammenfassung:	In art historical scholarship this methodology allows us to restore the agency to individual players, artists, curators, critics, historians, collectors and patrons; to consider the transnational networks these individuals formed on the basis of shared values and goals, and to discern the ways in which these networks shaped historical processes, often operating outside the confines of specific nation-states or politically defined territories. Barr’s savvy cultural diplomacy was combined with a staunch dedication to the freedom of artistic expression, which he saw as an indispensable condition for radical modernism to emerge and thrive. Historical memory is selective and the politics of history are a powerful force – and while the US-Russian political and cultural relations continue to play themselves out with absurdity from one year to the next. Barr noted that this account was "flattering but less accurate then it should have been" and that "the experience was troubling.".
