Selected for conservation by Jennifer Jarvis
The Sheridan Libraries’ collection of materials relating to Dada, one of the most significant avant-garde movements of the twentieth century, is among the finest in the United States. These materials include 691, the sole issue of a magazine printed by Pierre Andre Benoit that contains reproductions of works by Marcel Duchamp and Tristan Tzara, as well as a paper cut-out print by Jean Arp. Very rare.
Conservation Treatment
All issues need to be stabilized with minor papers repairs and rehoused so they may be used by students, faculty, and researchers.
