Publisher's Synopsis
Hans Richter's 'Dada: Art and Anti-Art' was a landmark publication. First published in English in 1965, it completely changed the interpretation of Dada from a literary phenomenon to an artistic one. Ever since, it has been the first port of call for anyone interested in the subject. As a member of the first Dada group in Zurich during the First World War, Richter was in a unique position to tell its history, and his book drew together not only important historical documents but the testimonies of friends, such as Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, and Raoul Hausmann. This second edition features a new introduction telling the story of how the book came about.
