Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art launched 1913 Armory Show: The Story in Primary Sources http://armoryshow.si.edu/, a digital exhibition to celebrate the centennial of the International Exhibition of Modern Art. Popularly known as the Armory Show, it was first major exhibition of European modern art in the United States (with stops in New York, Chicago, and Boston). The website features a timeline of more than 150 primary sources dating between December 1911 and May1914. Read about organizers scrambling to borrow roughly 1,250 pieces of art, celebrity artists seeking payment, and everyday people looking for lost umbrellas. The story of the 1913 Armory Show cannot be told without the Archives of American Art. The Archives holds the largest accumulation of primary source material, ranging from official records produced by the Association of American Painters and Sculptors to the firsthand—and often irreverent—accounts by visitors to the show. Scholars, students, curators, and enthusiasts of modern art, U.S. history and culture, and digital humanities may benefit from this presentation of archival materials.
