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.
