In 1913, the largest and most influential art show in history took place; The 1913 Armory Show. Packed into New York's 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenues between 25th and 26th streets were over 1200 works of art that ranged from sculptures, paintings and decorative works by over 300 artists from America and Europe. The show introduced Picasso, Matisse, Duchamp and modernism to American audiences. The event was so radical at the time, critics, who were used to realism in their art, questioned the sanity of the artists whose works were represented in the show. But the experimental art was eventually embraced by America and made way for great American artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Andy Warhol.
