International Exhibition of Modern Art.
Color lithograph and letterpress poster, 1913. 523x360 mm; 20 1/2x14 1/4 inches, with margins. A superb, well-preserved impression of this very scarce poster.
The official poster announcing the first venue of the three city Armory Show tour in New York from February 15 to March 15, 1913.
The uprooted pine tree image on the poster (which was the same used for the cover of the exhibition catalogue, see the following lot) is taken from the Massachusetts, Revolutionary era battle flag, "proclaiming liberation from the art of the past" (Shapiro 135), and clearly signifying another revolution, this time in art.
