‎New York DADA 1915 - 23‎

‎* For about ten years, beginning with the Armory Show in 1913, New York City was host to the odd-sounding accents and queerer-looking paintings and constructions of a mixed bag of European and American avant-gardists. Besides the inscrutable figure of artist Marcel Duchamp, the European contingent included such iconoclastic visitors as the playboy painter Francis Picabia, the composer Edgard Varese, the diplomat Henri-Pierre Roche (author of Jules et Jim and adviser to the extraordinary collector John Quinn), and painters Albert Gleizes and Jean Crotti. Among the Americans were the photographer/painter/constructor Man Ray, the Precisionist painter and Fortune photographer Charles Sheeler, the Futurist Joseph Stella, and the Pennsylvania artists Charles Demuth and Morton Schamberg. New York Dada is the first comprehensive study devoted exclusively to the accomplishments of these vanguard artists in America in the period 1915-23 - among the most underappraised, though most influential periods in the history of American art. Within months after the word "Dada" was discovered by a group of refugee artists and writers living in Switzerland, news of the movement reached artists in New York, who, by then, had already made works of art and engaged in activities that were similar in spirit to those produced by their European counterparts. For this groundbreaking book, Francis M. Naumann has interviewed virtually all the survivors and has amassed a wealth of rare photographs and newspaper clippings, including pictures of early installations of modern art in homes and exhibitions, to capture the spirit of New York Dada in a work that is both informative and captivating. In view of the current trend to investigate the potential of a conceptually oriented approach to art and to the art-making process, it is perhaps no coincidence that New York Dada is now finally recognized for the important role it played in the formative phases of a modernist aesthetic.‎

‎A Pictorial Description of Broadway.‎

‎New York: The Mail & Express Co. 1899. Oblong narrow folio 6 x 17 inches. Advertisement pale stain to first few leaves. 37 chromolithographed sheets printed on both sides. Original publisher's pictorial paper wrappers rebacked with linen some chipping and staining preserved in a folding blue cloth slipcase lettered in gilt chip to lower corner hinge starting. First edition. A series of beautiful chromolithographs that chronicle the main thoroughfare of Broadway "from Steamship Row and Bowling Green to 59th Str." Holden. Gray calls it a precursor to the photographic books that became popular after the turn of the century commenting that it "forms a baseline however unsatisfactory for documentation of that street" Gray ed. p. iii. The Mail & Express Company was the publisher of the Evening Mail a New York City daily newspaper. This is an important block-by-block record of what Broadway looked like at the turn of the 20th century. "Established in 17th-century Dutch New York Broadway grew with the city not only as a thoroughfare but as a conveyance of an expanding city carrying progress with the tide of time section by section with each part reinventing itself after the older Broadway and New York moved on�It was Broadway that carried the growing city. Broadway's expansion took it to the environs of Columbus Circle as the city was preparing to unify itself in the 1890s but anticipating the next century's growth outlying paths known as the Boulevard and the Bloomingdale Road were rebuilt widened and made part of Broadway" Gabrielan p. 7. Randall Gabrielan "Along Broadway." Christopher Gray ed. "Fifth Avenue 1911 from Start to Finish in Historic Block-by-Block Photographs." Holden 1944.
