And the magazine went out with a bang—its final issue has gone down in art history for featuring Stieglitz’s iconic photograph of Duchamp’s “Fountain” and a defense of that work, seen now as perhaps the most important artwork of the 20th century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Blind Man: New York Dada, 1917\u003c\/i\u003e brings back the magazine in a facsimile reprint, along with reproductions of the \u003ci\u003eRidgefield Gazook\u003c\/i\u003e and the poster for the Blind Man’s Ball designed by Beatrice Wood, all packaged together in a handsome boxed set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ugly Duckling Presse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040372211952,"sku":"9781937027889","price":49.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781937027889_p0.jpg?v=1763660816","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781937027889","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
