CIA in the Art World: The Cold War’s Secret Cultural Weapon - CIA Series Pt 4

The CIA is intertwined in culture. This includes a serious influence in the modern art movements and relationships with the Museum of Modern Art and more in the midst of the Cold War.

The CIA in the Art World wasn’t just about funding paintings—it was part of a larger strategy to influence global culture during the Cold War. In this episode of our CIA series, Mark Groubert and Eric Hunley dive deep into the secret history of how the CIA funded modern art movements, specifically abstract expressionism, to counter Soviet propaganda. From Jackson Pollock to Mark Rothko, the agency covertly shaped the art world by supporting American artists and galleries in a cultural war no one knew was happening. Join us as we explore the shocking role of the CIA in the Art World and how they used art as a weapon in the fight for global influence.

This is the fourth installment in our CIA series which includes:
