Art Historian Katherine Zoraster


Modern Art Invasion: The 1913 Armory Show That Scandalized America

At the start of the 20th century, the art scene in New York severely lagged its European counterpart. Within forty years time, New York had become the center of the art world. The crucial event that kickstarted this shift was the 1913 Armory Show, the most important art exhibit in the history of the United States. Tonight we will take a look at this unprecedented and revolutionary exhibition that changed art in America.
