Exhibition description:
The Vorticists: Rebel Artists in London and New York, 1914-18 was a landmark show for the Vorticist movement. It was the first museum exhibition attempting to recreate the three Vorticist exhibitions mounted during World War 1, the exhibitions that served to define the group's radical aesthetic for the public. It was also the first show devoted to this Anglo-American movement to be presented in the United States or Italy. While Vorticism was a short-lived, essentially spanning the years of WW1, it was a pivotally important modernist movement.

Partnerships:
Co-organized by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, and Tate Britain.
