Summary
  • A boxed set containg facsimile editions of "The blind man" (nos. 1 & 2) and "rongwrong", two seminal New York Dada magazines edited by Marcel Duchamp, Henri-Pierre Roché, and Beatrice Wood in 1917. Also included are Beatrice Wood's poster for "The blind man's ball (1917), "The Ridgefield gazook", edited by Man Ray, and two supplementary texts: "The blind man sees the fountain: New York Dada magazines in 1917: an introduction" / by Sophie Seita (21 pages) and "Translations: the French texts of 'The blind man" and 'rongwrong' / by Elizabeth Zuba (23 pages). Two cards (a publisher's description and a card with colophon-type information) accompany the set
  • "The blind man" and "rongwrong" were part of a network of little magazines that introduced audiences to Dada and avant-garde movements in art and literature. They featured contributions of poetry, prose, and visual art by Mina Loy, Louise Norton, Robert Carlton Brown, Erik Satie, Walter Arensberg, Francis Picabia, Alfred Stieglitz, and others. "The blind man" was the first print publication to circulate an image of Duchamp's "Fountain" (photographed by Stieglitz) after its rejection from the first annual exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists, presenting a public challenge to the accepted definition of art during this time
