Additional Details

Kuhn taught at the New York School of Art after its move to Fort Lee, NJ, in the summer of 1908. He played a key role in the Armory Show of 1913. As the executive secretary, he was in charge of finding European artists to participate. Held at the Armory on Lexington Avenue and 25th Street in New York, across the street from Swann's current location, this show is widely credited with introducing modern art to America.
