The studies of artists and concepts in this volume present Dada as a prodigiously creative avant-garde that coheres, for all its diversity, around a radical reinvention of the nature of the art object. Filling a broad gap in the history of modern art, this collection of twelve essays, developed out of a series of seminars held by the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA) at the National Gallery of Art, offers both an important revision of our understanding of this influential movement and a starting point for reflection on the origins of many forms of contemporary artistic practice.
