The first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on the brief but hugely influential movement, Dada surveys the six principal cities in which its artists worked between 1916 and 1924. This exhibition represents nearly fifty artists in over 400 pieces including paintings, collage, photomontage, readymade constructions, photographs and printed matter.
Hans Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Francis Picabia and the poet Tristan Tzara were among the Dadaists who collaborated to bring Paris its "Dada Season" between the years 1920 and 1923. Part spectacle and part scandal, their slew of exhibitions, performances, readings, publications and printed press editorials were wholly sensational. The Paris section of Dada demonstrates the lengths to which these artists would go in their attempts to shake up the post-war status quo.
To view any of the other five galleries, please see the Dada at MoMA index page.
