Summary/Abstract: The article compares three significant international books for the recovery of recent art history from Central-Eastern European countries, with Piotr Piotrowski, Klara Kemp-Welch and Maja and Reuben Fowkes as authors. The common point of these publications is related to the horizontal approach of art history, as it is theorized by Piotr Piotrowski. He proposed the application of a comparative methodology within the political-geographic construct called Eastern Europe. Therefore, the study follows the way in which Romanian art from the period 1960-2020 is presented and integrated, by each individual author, to this context.
