- Lot Description
Original color screenprint and letterpress poster for the 1913 International Exhibition of Modern Art, also known as The Armory Show, The official poster announced the first venue of the three-city Armory Show tour in New York from February 15 to March 15, 1913. Unframed. 20 1/2" H x 14" W.
Note: For a similar poster, see lot #434 in our January 2024 auction. The Armory Show is credited with ushering in a new era in art and introducing Americans to Impressionism, Neo- and Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism and modern sculpture. The exhibition included paintings from European modernist artists like Degas, Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, and Gauguin. The uprooted pine tree image on the poster, also used for the cover of the exhibition catalogue, was derived from the Massachusetts Revolutionary-era battle flag, “proclaiming liberation from the art of the past” (Ref. Shapiro, p. 135).
Condition
Overall very good condition, with minor toning especially along left edge. Poster is laid to canvas backing. 1 3/4" L-shaped tear to upper right margin extending 3/4" into red area of flag plus 9/16" marginal tear to center left edge and 1/4" marginal tear to center right edge. Minor staining to lower left corner, primarily marginal. Negligible creases to corners, largest to upper left, 3/4". Very faint specks of dampstaining along lower right edge. Minor discoloration beneath lower edge of flag is possibly an inherent artifact of the printing process.
