Marius de Zayas will now share with Alfred Stieglitz the honor of having introduced New York to modern art. This book, consisting of a summary history by de Zayas of exhibtions at 291 and the Modern Galler, correspondence between de Zayas and Stieglitz, and a complete listing of Modern Gallery exhibition, all ably edited by Francis M. Naumann, adds substantially to our knowledge of how modern art was exhibited and recieved in New York.
