Reviews / Votes
"Traces the progression and development of one of the most revolutionary movements of the 20th century, and what is unusual - if not unique - in a book on this subject, it seeks to show how Dada has influenced contemporary artists and art theory... A comprehensive study."-The Art Newspaper"Lavishly oversized and impressively illustrated, DADA, will probably serve as the definitive study of the movement for some time now."-ARTimes
"Phaidon and Kuenzli offer a rich foundation with which to dive deeper into a study of not only dada practices and art but also to European art movements of the 20th century. Big illustrations, rich explanatory notes and references make this another must-have from Phaidon press."-Slug
"This latest edition to Phaidon's Themes and Movements series follows hot on the heels of the 2005 exhibition catalog and succeeds in adding depth to the existing survey literature."- Library Journal
"Phaidon's Themes and Movements series seeks to provide the late 20th-century art history books of the future."-Art Monthly
