Armory Show

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.10 sec.

Armory Show

Exhibition of modern European art held February 1913 in New York. It marked the arrival of abstract art in the USA, and greatly influenced US artists. The exhibition provoked public outrage, and a rioting crowd threatened to destroy Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase No 1 1911 (now in the Museum of Art, Philadelphia).

The exhibition included a number of works by contemporary American painters, and retrospective examples of 19th-century French art, but the exhibits which caused great controversy and attracted the widest notice were the products of fauvism and cubism.
