Dadaglobe was to be the definitive anthology of the Dada movement. Had
it been published in 1921 as planned, it would have constituted more
than one hundred artworks by some thirty artists from seven countries,
showing Dada to be an artistic and literary movement with truly global
reach. Yet, mainly due to a lack of funding, it remained unpublished,
leaving a remarkable void in the literature on this early
twentieth-century movement.Dadaglobe Reconstructed restores this
fascinating literary artefact with reproductions of the works of art
received by the Romanian poet and cofounder of the Dada movement Tristan
Tzara.
His call for submissions in four categories - drawings,
photographs of artworks, photographic self-portraits, and book layouts
was met not merely with existing works. The parameters for production
also served as a catalyst for the creation of many new ones, including
some of the Dada movement's most iconic works. For the first time, the
collection is presented here in full colour and alongside essays
examining Tzara's concept and the history of Dada and
Dadaglobe.Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the
founding of Dada in Zurich and based on years of extensive research by
American scholar Adrian Sudhalter.
